Yeah I disagree with that. I love having my Kindle to take a ton of books with me easily. I don't care about the smell of books, the physicality etc. For leisure reading that's a down side as I'm stuck with a physical object I'll probably never touch again after reading once, and have to either find shelf space or time to donate it.

The area I think is lacking is using them for any books other than leisure reading due to screen size, lack of color, lack of stylus annotation on most devices etc. Thus I don't use them for my academic work. But that will come with time once tablet devices get out and perfected etc.
