To Kindle or not to Kindle? That is the question.

For a while now I have been considering whether or not to buy a Kindle.
The Release of the Kindle Touch in the UK this week has re-opened this debate.
I thought I'd tell you my positive and negative to buying a Kindle so that you can discus them and tell me your views if you have or don't have a Kindle

Positives

    A kindle is lighter, smaller and more portable than books
    Books are cheaper on the Kindle
    Galleys are portable if you have an e-reader
    It would save me room because I wouldn't be buying physical books

Negatives

    The Kindle I want is £160!
    I can't use it at school whereas I can read a book in class
    Book are still 3-4 pounds on a Kindle and new releases are often even more expensive
    I would look the enjoyment factor of reading a ''proper'' book
    I wouldn't be adding to my collection of real books


So as you can see at the moment the Negatives outweigh the positives but I am still trying to decide whether or not to buy a kindle...
