Counter-point, at least for me: I got a Kindle in 2012, when I traveled the world for a few months. Swapping books or even buying new ones every 2-3 days gets boring quickly. So I got the $79 Kindle back then (still think it's the best one ever, because its light, no keyboard, no touch, page flips with mechanical keys on both sides). The biggest advantage though is: I read way more on a Kindle than ever before. I love that you don't have to carry a book, can adjust the font size, and basically pick it up faster than a physical book and continue reading, even if it's only for 10 minutes in the subway. Also, Kindle books are usually cheaper and I (as a German) get to download many English books instead of having to order them and wait for a day or two. Weird: I often highlight some sentences or paragraphs in Kindle books that I like, but I actually never look back at the notes I took.
