I like my Kindle and can lose myself in a book.  However, these are the drawbacks I've encountered so far:

--  On a plane I have to shut it off during take-off and landing.  This is prime reading time!

--  I can't pass on a good book to a friend.

--  A recent choice of my book club is on the best seller list, but isn't available to download.

--  I recently spent $8 or $9 to download a travel book and found out that it was unusable.  Impossible to flip through and jump around, which is how I use a reference book like this.
