"This tough critic is keeping it"
Pros: E-ink technology is very book-like... find myself reaching to turn the page, love being able to have dozens of books with me for whatever I choose to read or if I get 100 pages into something and don't care to continue.
Cons: Its not a warm book, not so great at the beach, ebooks are more expensive than I would have thought given that there is practically no cost to the publisher.
