  A kindle beats the user experience of a real book in many many ways. It's lighter and smaller than many books, and can store thousands of them. You can read on your side in bed easier because you don't have to read both sides of a book. It has a built in night light which works much better than those rubbish clip-on ones. It remembers where you were automatically, and syncs with your phone in case you want to read and forgot it. You can change the font size. It has a built in dictionary. You can buy books instantly. It's better in almost every way. The only downsides are: DRM, no colour, too small for books with diagrams and A4 PDFs (scientific papers), slower to navigate through pages, requires occasional charging, more likely to be stolen, doesn't appeal to people who like to make themselves feel superior by eschewing new things.
