Going back to paperbacks when one has the Kindle is not a pleasant surprise.

I'm currently reading a book from the library: lots of pages, heavy, awkward to hold and turn pages. I find I'm reluctant to bring it along because of the wait so the only time I get to read from it is when I'm at home.

I don't think anyone having actually used an e-reader will go back to paperbacks, it's just too many downsides.

People who's never used an e-reader and still find criticism just doesn't get it.
