And while I'd love to use my kindle for travel guides, its just not practical to try jumping around a guide book on an ereader, its too frustrating and more difficult than paging through the dead tree version. So for academic work(where things like checking on footnotes and the like are important), guide books, and anything where you are going to hop around in the book, ereaders still have a ways to go. But for fiction, or nonfiction that reads like any other book, they are wonderful.
How is the Kindle for magazines and newspapers? I'm a train commuter who uses some of my train time to rest my eyes, but the other times I like to read newspaper and magazine articles rather than books. Should I stick with paper?
