Here is one of those few times I have non-tech feelings. I'm 26, own a T-Mobile G1, build my own PC's and love downloading MP3's, but I'm also a History grad, written a thesis, gone through archives for months researching, and I just love everything about physical books.
So sorry kindle, I will never buy you no matter what version you come in, I love my books to much.
Those responses don't make any sense. When you buy a Kindle, the purpose is to download books instead of buying them. I like buying physical books, not downloading them so why would I buy a Kindle if I want real books? I didn't attack anyone wanting a Kindle, I just don't want one, the end.
Two, movies still come out before DVDs, and few people on earth have 30x60 foot plasma TV's or in home movie theaters, so buying DVDs 8 months after the movie is out and watching it on your comparatively smaller TV does not correlate with replacing the movie going experience.
Nothing will replace sitting in my reading chair with a beautiful hardbound edition of something from my library, but I'd also like to be able to read more casual books by just clicking a button-- without waiting days for delivery, making a trip to a physical store, cluttering up my physical library, or even having to carry anything additional around with me.
I want a Kindle just to expand my reading, not to replace anything. I still loves me a real book.

'Cause when you buy a Kindle, they come to your house and burn all your books.
Sorry, DVDs and cable TV, I love movie theaters too much.

I'm sorry these horseless carriages will never catch on
