Points:
Amazon's Kindle will revolutionize the publication industry as Apple's iPod did to the music industry - but: Kindle does not directly support .doc, .txt or .pdf format, of which a lot of current e-books are in (www.amazon.com)
 - because: users have to email these files to Amazon and let them be converted into the .azw format exclusively used by Amazon before they can view them in their Kindles (www.amazon.com)

- but: users do not possess full ownership of the Kindle's e-books as they do with paper books
 - because: users cannot share, loan, sell the e-book they've purchased with Kindle as they usually do with paperbooks (www.amazon.com)

- because: Kindle allows owners to carry with them a huge library of books everywhere, which is rather unimaginable with paper books
 - because: Kindle is about the size of a typical paperback, and even lighter and thinner--weighs only 10.3 ounces (www.amazon.com)
 - because: Kindle allows users to purchase the books they want anytime and anywhere they like at hand
 - because: unlike ordinary bookstores, Kindle is connected to Amazon online book store, so users can shop 24/7 (www.amazon.com)
 - because: the e-book purchased will be delivered to the user's Kindle in a minute (www.amazon.com)

- because: Kindle does not need a cable to operate (www.amazon.com)
 - because: with Kindle's internal and expandable storage capacity, up to 200 books can be held in it in digital format (www.amazon.com)
 - but: there is little point in carrying round a book that you have already read
 - but: this feature is especially useful for many professionals, such as Doctors and Lawyers, who need to consult a lot of reference books at work
 - but: this feature does not really facilitate those professionals, who need the most updated information for their works, as it appears to be
 - because: the books those professionals need are revised all the time, but with Kindle, they cannot sell the old editions and get money to buy the new ones

- because: different from all existing e-book readers or pad, no synchronization from another computer is needed for organizing books in one's Kindle (amazon.com)
 - because: Kindle's connection to internet allows users to subscribe also to blogs, newspapers and magazines, in addition to shopping books online (amazon.com)
 - but: all these online functions are not available outside network coverage
 - but: Amazon allows user to buy books online and access the email conversions using computer and then transfer them back to Kindle when network is not available (amazon.com)
 - but: no internet connection hot-spot is needed for Kindle to connect online
 - because: Kindle connects to the internet through advanced cell phone network instead of the less stable traditional wi-fi connection (amazon.com)
 - but: this only means all those prominent online functions are not available outside the states
 - because: Kindle's wireless connection is stuck with Sprint's national high-speed (EVDO) data network, i.e. CDMA network, which is not always available outside the states (www.amazon.com)

- but: no electronic book reader can replace real paper book
 - because: electronic book is fundamentally different from real paper book, it can never offer the same kind of experience to reader
 - but: Kindle's different tailored made features reminisce users of genuine book reading experience, or even surpass it
 - because: Kindle's search function allows readers to search through a book or even their library for particular word or phrase which would be troublesome with real books (amazon.com)
 - because: the built-in dictionary of Kindle allows users to look up meaning of particular word without interrupting their reading (amazon.com)
 - because: Kindle, in adopting the new technology electronic-paper display, provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper (amazon.com)
 - because: Amazon allows Kindle's users to read a few pages of the book before they decide to buy it, just like we do in bookstore (amazon.com)
 - because: Kindle is tailored made so that both "lefties" and "righties" can use it with one hand (amazon.com)
 - because: Kindle's vertical page-turning buttons that are located on both side of it allow users to read and turn pages comfortably from any position (amazon.com)

- because: Kindle allows users to change the size of the text for a better reading, which is not possible with real books (amazon.com)
 - but: users lose the whole view of the book with increased font size as the display area is fixed

- because: users can add annotations on the margin of the Kindle's e-books, and edit them afterwards, in a way much easier than they do on paper books (www.amazon.com)
 - but: using a pencil users can add annotations to a normal book, and edit them afterwards
