Books made of paper are cheaper... why?
The Kindle is a great concept. The lack of back up for subscription content is definitely a con. As is the weight. But the worst con of all is: Why are the electronic books so expensive?? The average paperback is only $7. That is with all the materials, shipping, etc... costs. An ebook is only digital data sent directly to the Kindle unit. Why is it $10+ a book?? I would much rather go to Barnes and Nobles and pick up a paperback. No back up issues and much cheaper. Until this is ironed out, no Kindle for me..
