But given the current arrangements, I’m being charged just a little bit less than I pay for paper and getting a whole lot less, and it just doesn’t feel like a good deal. Speaking as someone who's moved more times that he'd like to count, I enjoy getting a whole lot less--less weight, fewer boxes, less room taken up in my home. My Kindle's lighter than a thick magazine and takes up way less room in my bag. When you compare it to a hardcover (especially a fantasy hardcover) the difference is amazing. Try reading a Wheel of Time book one-handed for an entire afternoon in paperback or hardcover. Then try flipping the pages one handed, too. For me it's a question of convenience, and I'll take my convenience over that of my friends in this case. If they don't trust my recommendation enough to track a book down in a library (or download the free sample from Amazon, if they've got a Kindle), then I really don't care what they're reading.
