It's like saying VHS is good enough so I won't try DVDs... you gotta try it :) Haven’t tried it either, but I read so much I figure I will try it.

Don't have an incentive to try it, I like reading books in paper, and I like taking books from the LBS library. No incentive to switch to digital really. Except for storage and searching and for books and me thats not a huge incentive. Haven’t tried it, have you FT?

I have no idea how many books I have at how home or a simple way to go back and read through my copy of things I read a couple of weeks let alone years ago. Kindle would make this easier in principle, but in practice doesn't because the experience is different. I think in principle it does solve a problem.

The reason the iPhone has worked so phenomenally well, for example, is because it does this very thing - improving a traditionally terrible UI, creating device convergence without sacrifice etc. People <em>needed</em> it - I'm not convinced people need Kindle...
