I just read that a few months ago. When I found out how long it was, I thought: "Wow, I'm glad I'm reading this on my Kindle and not on paper. It would be a killer."
Recently, I wanted to re-read the Dragonlance Chronicles from my youth. Looked for them on Kindle: no dice. Bought the trilogy in one book. (saved a bunch of money that way) The weight and size of the book really took some of the fun out of it while reading in bed or while commuting. When it is not super cold, I commute by bike, train, and bus, every day. One really notices every extra pound when carrying it on a bike!
Reading in bed is also not as nice with a big paper book. Can you imagine trying to hold that monster up with one hand?
e-book readers have really succeeded in making the device transparent. When I put down my Kindle after an enjoyable reading session, I can't help but marvel at the device itself. I forgot I was using a device! it doesn't FEEL like an electronic gadget.
