As a proud Kindle owner and user, some here might think I support Cushing’s decision.

I don’t.

The logic is simple: As handy and user-friendly as a Kindle is, and even though it’s much closer to reading paper than it is to reading a computer screen, the Kindle currently has one major debilitating flaw: there are millions of books not available for Kindle.

If and when the Kindle gets a lot closer–I mean 99% or more–to having every single book available, I might–MIGHT–support a decision like Cushing’s.
