I still
believe in Kindle. For me, it is a perfect solution to a
paper-free world (which I don't want to live in, but sometimes is
good to have most of your techinical books and manuals in such a
small package!)
I don't think your belief in data preservation using the
Kindle is
well justified at all if the company you get your e-books from is
freely able to wipe your data. At the very least, I hope you didn't
buy your paper-free books from Amazon. See

Hmmm, all the material you sent me was unknown by me until now, and I
think it deserves a careful reading...Thanks for sharing!
