I do miss the tactile sensation of holding a book, but the convenience of my Kindle is exceptional. I can carry my library with me at all times. This includes the books that I bought for the device, the many free books I have downloaded from Amazon, and two magazines I subscribe to each month. I find that I read longer with my Kindle then I did with traditional books after I got used to the device. I feel the trade is well worth it. Hi Kellie,

Then after it has been read, you put it back on the bookshelf and maybe someday down the road you will want to revisit your friends held between the covers of that book and you get to pick it up again, hold the book open on your lap, sit back and have a nice visit. I'm not saying there is something wrong with e-books, but for me, the experience just isn't the same.
