I am a big fan of Kindle books, but I still have lots of hardcover books as well. In my case specifically, as a religious Jew I cannot read on an electronic device during the Sabbath. (Yes I know that's today, but it's over at sunset which was a while ago.) Not only that, but a large part of my reading is done on the Sabbath, so kindles will never push away paper books for me. What they will do is complement them.
I would absolutely buy all my kindles from my local independent bookstore, if they offered it. I love them and get all my paper books from them, they're really helpful, and I would love to support them. And when I need to buy a new Kindle, I'd buy that from them too. So they'd keep renewing their benefits, since Amazon has said their 10% offer is for kindle upgrades as well.
Either way, I would be getting a Kindle and buying just as many books. The question is, where from?
