Well PO, I resisted the whole Kindle thing for years for many of the reasons you do, and I do miss the physical sensation of feeling how deep you are in a thick book, but after having to seriously downsize my footprint after my last move, I finally broke down and went digital. The Paperwhite is pretty good. I can't read on my phone or tablet because of the constant barrage of notifications, so I appreciate the Kindle as a purpose built device.

Plus, in this day and age it avoids a lot of awkward conversations when reading based on cover art...though I'll never understand why people see you reading in public and think you're preformatively reading in search of conversation instead of there to actually read.

As to the whole Dark is Rising having not aged terribly well, people still read Clarke, Asimov, PKD, and Gibson and many of their works have aged poorly as well. Doesn't make them bad books.
