I don't think I'd put it quite the same way as he did, but one of the reasons I do enjoy having the Kindle is I find very few books that I really want to own and read again. I'd rather have those few books standing alone than the room full of overflowing book shelves I currently have. I will only read most books I bought once, even books I thoroughly enjoyed. I wouldn't go so far as to call them "disposable", though. Their form may be but not the ideas, inspiration and work. Besides, I'm less likely to dispose of my ebooks than I am of the mass of paper books that clutter up my house. They may be more easily destroyed but they're also easier to keep.
