Nothing is as good as a real book, however I have 2 Kindles for travel etc. I realised it was a good idea to get one when I was planning my holiday kit around fitting the books in... Also great for trains, commuting and stuff.
The bad side, is you cant lend out like you would a book, of scan the bookshelves, or feel the paper in hand, or know by touch where you are in the book etc.
In short; a useful tool, not as good as a book.

Would you consider just getting rid of books once you've read them? Would free up space and give you the warm tingly feeling of passing something on to a friend/ charity shop whilst allowing you to still read physical books. I only hold on to books that I think I'm likely to read again, I don't have the space for hundreds of books and would rather someone else enjoyed them.

I reckon I do 99% of my reading on kindles now. It's just so much more convenient and I find it's as easy on the eyes as a real book.
On top of the other benefits I like being able to look things up in Wikipedia on the fly by just highlighting them in the book.

What are peoples thoughts on Kindles.
My book collection is getting out of hand and whilst I love a good physical book, I also need to think about the practicalities of book ownership.
