While I love my Kindle and wouldn't be without it, I can certainly see the appeal of paper books. That's the beauty of technology - choices. Some people prefer the eInk readers, some the iPad and other LCD-based readers, yet some still prefer the "real" stuff. I don't put people down for not being "with it", just like I expect others to respect my choices. Just because I can't stand reading on the iPad for longer periods, doesn't mean that I will make fun of others that do.
It is fun to show the Kindle reader to people that have never been exposed to one. I converted my wife and two co-workers. Never had a negative reaction to it, except from an iPad user at Starbucks. That was an event in itself. Some people just really need to stop measuring their self-worth by the gadgets they own...
