And another Kindle advantage over regular books: no one knows what you are reading! Could be serious heavy stuff,could be complete fluff--no more worrying about one's "image"!This just dawned on me the other day when I was reading something from the Outlander series in public, which I'm sure has some kind of brawny kiltclad bodice ripper cover in paperback.
Although I will miss walking down a plane and seeing nearly every single person reading the same book, something that's happened a couple of times in the past.
