I think they're a good supplement to proper books - and great for travel. Sorry, but if I'm on a flight longer than an hour or two, I'm going to want access to more than one book, and the easiest way to do that without weighing myself down is with a Kindle. Plus, eBooks are generally cheaper, and it's a good way to broaden my horizons while still paying top dollar for IRL books that I actually want to physically own. I probably wouldn't read half as much if I only had one or the other.
