I must agree with you. I was so against buying a Kindle, always wanted a real book. Then arthritis got so bad in my hands it was impossible to read for more than half an hour. I guess I am like many others who have "seen the light". I adore my Kindle, have nearly 100 books so far. I love that I can have a book that I want within a few minutes. I havent bought a real book in ages, and have been thinking of dragging the ones I do have to half price books. I doubt I will ever give up the Kindle now.
