For what it’s worth, I concur with its findings re the Kindle 2. Nowadays, if I’m reading at home it will probably be a paperback. I will use the Kindle mostly when traveling, where weight is paramount.

Books that I find worth keeping at arm’s length in the future, I will probably purchase in both printed and electronic format. Fortunately, they are not that many. And yes, I would expect some kind of discount when purchasing both.
