Interesting discussion.

I guess it boils down to utility. I found a title where the paper copy has a multiple increase in utility for a faction increase in cost (when compared to the Kindle Edition). Several people have pointed out that there are many titles where this is not the case. Y'all are right, those titles are worth getting on your Kindle.

Of course, it would be better if you could get those titles off your Kindle (I still prefer LCD to Eink, but that's another discussion.)
