not quite the same as a real book....book is tactile with smells, crinkling, age etc etc....there is just something about reading a flippen good real book!

books are so much cheaper on a kindle and you have access to many books on it instead of filling a suitcase with deforestation and you can read 50 shades of grey without anyone knowing.

On holiday, I like real books, they don't run out of battery, or need charging....

kindle is fantastic, I can take lots of books on holiday, in the space of one, and if I hear about a good book its 30 seconds then I got it, cheap, I dont have to go into exclusive books and search for it....phoning other branches to get it ect, ect. The print media is a sunset industry.

I love my Kindle, but agree with Blik, nothing beats a real book or in my case 5000 of them

if nothing else - 2 words "free books"
All those classics and a lot of new books are free,
(eg) The other day "The playbook" by Mike Bellafoire was free
