Depends what you're reading. If you do mostly pleasure/story reading it's unimportant, information retention is not that important. When you read denser books you do double takes and reread pretty often. I hate the swipe motion, if I had buttons it would matter less, but the extremely slow refresh rates made it very bad and frustrating for rereading more technical books and the minuscule amount of information on the screen made it difficult to read a completely concept easily. PDF support is especially bad. I read 1 dense book on my kindle recently that took me 2months. I've read 3 in the last week and understood them, and am rereading that book and I'm already 10% complete or so it says after a day. It feels like 200lb when you need to go back to a page, swipe back several times and the pages aren't as dense as you'd like.
