Still debating the pros and cons of purchasing ebooks vs real-books.

I have the Kindle app on my iPhone. I use it occasionally but so far I’ve only “purchased” books that are free.

There’s a book that I want to buy. It will cost me $17 to buy on Amazon, $19 to buy at Borders, but only $10 to buy for the Kindle.

Obviously saving money is a strong argument for getting the electronic version, but for some reason I can’t convince myself that this is the best way to go. Something about not having a physical item is troubling to me.

What are your thoughts?

    I tried eBooks for a while on my older Treo phone, but it didn’t match up to holding an actual book, turning the page, etc. Reading an actual book holds its own magic, I think.
