To add to @Richey79's comment, I have many old pBooks from my college days -- classics that I like to keep around. In going back to read, say, Dostoyevsky's "Crime & Punishment", I find that not only is the paper yellowed, but the print is (now) very small to these older eyes, and the bindings have cracked, split and broken allowing pages to come loose. Paperback books are not made for durability, perhaps on purpose, maybe a form of planned obsolescence. I do plan to return to many of those old classics (currently enjoying Bram Stoker's 'Dracula') but it will be on my K3 which is so much more convenient, lighter and quicker with which to turn pages.
