When the kindle came out I found I had no desire to own one. I enjoy marking up my books so much with underlines and scribbles and notes. Doing this on a kindle is painful at best and doesn't replicate the actual experience. However, what you don't mention is "search." Having a Kindle that would search within my books would be a huge help to me. Particularly when writing on an airplane. Dunno if I'll pay the $400 for it and the cost to repurchase all of my standard books, but for the first time I am at least considering it. PS - great to see you blogging as you are never short of an opinion... While not in the law business, I am a huge fan of books. When the kindle came out I found I had no desire to own one.
