Honestly, I think e-books still tend to be pretty expensive, at least the mainstream stuff. I can definitely see how the Kindle would go unused if the person likes to read the stuff that's cheaper as a used paperback than it is as an e-book. A lot of the cheap e-books are the older classics and the self-published works, which isn't everybody's thing.
