Kindle: I approve

I am not the greatest fan of ebooks but Amazon's Kindle app on my Android tablet has impressed. A few positive notes:

• It works well for novels and other books that you do not need to mark/refer to over and over again
•  It can save you some money - no printing or postage appears to be accounted for with many of the books in the Kindle store
• No need to wait for the book to be delivered! This can be a real problem when you quickly need a book but no library or store nearby has it. And if you are buying from Amazon downunder shipping takes forever and it is by no means cheap.
• It is portable. Many books on one light weight device.

There are also a few negatives:

•  I cannot imagine using an ebook to replace a traditional academic text. I have horrible habits of marking the pages with colours and annotations and I learn to quickly navigate important books by feel and memory. I have never been able to replicate this with my ebooks.
• No physical book = no resale and no intelligent looking library.
• Difficulty in navigating multiple books for a research project

I have finally justified spending money on my Tablet!
