I love my Kindle, but I'd much rather have real books. The reading experience is better.
There are some things the Kindle is better at - I don't have to change the angle of my hold to read pages, for example - but the feel of a book, the smell of a book, the sound as you turn the page: all of these make real books nicer.
I just utterly love the fact that I only need to take one slim volume with me when travelling or waiting for an appointment. That rocks.

I think it's completely unsurprising that an online bookseller would sell more ebooks.

You can wrap your Kindle in clingfilm (gladwrap) or a transparent plastic bag.

Of course Amazon is selling more e-books than printed books. They're the main e-book seller.
