Actually, I am now more convinced that they will not replace books for a
long time. Many books just do no work well on them. I purchased one book
on my Kindle that had a lot of illustrations that text kept referring
to. It was very inconvenient to try and go back and forth from the text
to the illustration.

This is where the iPad has the advantage. There is a Kindle app for
the iPad so one can access the Kindle library, but with the iPad they
tell me one can integrate the graphics in a book on either the iBook
app or the Kindle app.
