I've read the old Tarzan books on my ipod Touch
59p is a lot less than Amazon want for Kindle books. I've also got the complete Sherlock Holmes that cost me about £1.20. While I still much prefer proper books (see previous answers), I did a few train journeys where I could listen to music and read a book without adding significantly to the weight I was already carrying.
For serious reading, though, you can't beat a book.
