Can you imagine trying to cram 10 books into your luggage? And I wasn't just stuck with those 10. I could choose from thousands.

Oh do I hear you on that! On my last trip, two of the books I took (out of 4 total) were
World Without End and
Edgar Sawtelle, and I'd waited for months on a pre-order for
World Without End in paperback to cut some of the size and weight.
World Without End by itself convinced me I needed the Kindle before my next trip if at all possible (not quite going to happen, but will before my next trip longer than a couple days). While I don't mind reading for awhile with a book on a pillow, or on my stomach, my preferred position is on my back or side, and that just wasn't comfortably possible.
Not to mention I passed them to someone else once completed as I needed to free up weight in my bags for the return flights. So I no longer own them and can never go back and re-read if desired.
