<<...not as good as paper for serious learning/studying.>> Not from personal experience, but one of my sons has done all his textbook studies on a kindle. He says that it works especially well for him. I think it is all about taking full advantage of the alternate capabilities of the format.
One thing that I love about the kindle is the quick access to an exceptional dictionary. I have been very impressed with the fact that even some very obscure and archaic terms are to be found in the kindle dictionary!

My wife uses hers several hours every day, reading almost all free books. She will only pay for one if it's the next in a particularly good series. The Kindles are great for casual reading, not as good as paper for serious learning/studying.
