As an avid reader, I am very interested in the Kindle but am holding back from buying one for many reasons.
1. cost
2. I like to share books with others and something about not being able to do this kind of bugs me. Also, if a textbook is available, then it would be nice to print certain pages for study, research, highlighting, etc.
3. I have read some pretty disturbing complaints about amazon regarding customers who have had their amazon.com accounts closed and are no longer able to access their kindle library or buy other e-books. Basically, they have a device that they can no longer use because amazon got unhappy with them.
I am hoping that the technology becomes more user friendly (and affordable) because I know I will still want hardcopies of some of my reading materials. And this would probably supplement my library not take the place of it...
