You don't need anything except a proper light and time for read a real book. Furthermore, i love the scent of paper. A kindle cannot give you that pleasure. I always prefer a real book.

I'm with you, I want cheaper, but as long as I'm not paying MORE than B&N Member prices, I'm generally OK with it (granted, I LOVE $9.99). E-books to me have two important advantages over printed: I can get a book RIGHT NOW if I need to (and it's great on trips); and I don't have to store the damn thing. I've got close to 2k books in my house. I'm literally running out room. Now, loaning is a problem, but I don't do it a lot.
