>>And lest you think I'm singling out the pad v. Kindle, I don't see 
much value in Kindle for me either. I like books. I like holding them in 
my hands. I stare at screens all the time and welcome time away from 
them. Books never need to be recharged. If I lose a book I'm out $8-20; 
not hundreds. I rarely need to travel with more than one; two tops so 
there's no weight/bulk advantage. And for portable web browsing, my 
phone can handle that just fine and will in fact shortly be one of the 
few Flash-enabled phones, surpassing the pad/Touch/Phone's browsing 
capabilities.

If you lose a book you're out $8-20, not hundreds.

But if you lose a Kindle, don't you also lose the entire library stored 
on it?
