I've read 2 pbooks since getting the Kindle in February, and both were very light weight books (both literally and figuratively) and didn't take long to finish. I find that the physical weight of books is what really bothers me, and now I avoid hardcover at all costs (which means fewer library trips for me).
When I read the pbooks I kept getting irritated because I wanted to look up words, and no matter how much my little thumb twitched at the paper, my dictionary did not appear at the bottom of the screen.
I was about 25% through some 1,000 page Goodkind behemoth when I got the Kindle, and there's no way I'm carrying around that crap now. I no longer have to read paperbacks that are as wide as they are tall and strain my hands holding it open! If it's available in e-format I'll start reading it again, but otherwise I'm out.
