I love my Kindle for the same reasons as you guys, can't beat free classics and it is great to be able to read anywhere you happen to be.

The only downside is if you wish to buy some books on Kindle, a number of publishers set prices that are way more than for paperback or hard-cover. In those cases I go back to paper and ink books and look in the index we have online for our library and if it's there reserve to collect at my local. Or look for second-hand/used on Amazon, have got some great bargains from them ... bottom line, despite all the advantages of the Kindle I won't give up on 'real' books, don't think I ever will. For me it's an 'add to' rather than an 'instead of'
