It's not that simple, as if it all could be decided on one make-or-break point. But most of us aren't single-issue voters.
On balance, the Kindle has the best combination of features, support, and overall value to make me decide in its favor. So that's what I want and what I'm getting. Yet the Kindle will remain limited in its usefulness so long as a standardized, stable reference rubric isn't in place. As a PhD candidate, I will continue to purchase a great many physical books that I might otherwise have gotten in eBook format. You
cannot acceptably cite the "location" of a reference.
This can be fixed. The Kindle doesn't just have to be for novels and other casual reading.
