Well said, Sumanth. I was also thinking that with the cost of real estate hovering around 15-20,000 rupees a square feet in Mumbai, a Kindle pays for itself immediately. Today, I simply have no space to store more books, and the Kindle is therefore very handy.
Another benefit with the Kindle is that one can download a sample and decide if I want to go ahead and buy the book. I find that very useful. I love both formats, but ultimately, the content has to be really engrossing and nothing is more engaging than great writing!
