True - this really bothered me when I bought the first gen Kindle. I didn't think I would ever enjoy it as much as reading a "real" book. There was just all of the feelings associated with the real thing and sitting down with it that I didn't ever think an electronic book could replace. It's kind of funny now. I knew I would eventually forget about the device and become accustomed to it, but now I feel odd when I'm reading a "real" book. Of course there are some things that I like better in a real book format, but that is mostly due to shortcomings in the e-reader software or the book formatting and not as much because of the book itself.
Then I go to my brother's house and see his cool library and get a hit of book lust and feel like perhaps I should have never switched to e-readers!
