Wouldn't give you a dime for either one of them.

Personally, if I want to buy a book, I'll take paper instead of
plastic. I don't want some publisher deciding that I don't own the
book anymore and it gets deleted from my Kindle without even knowing
about it.

Besides, the costs are about the same for paper vs plastic anyway. So
what's the point?

Two good points.
Do they actually delete stuff off the Kindle at their discretion?

They have in the past - Orwell's "1984" oddly enough. :)

Electronic copyright issues are going to become the big issue in the
next couiple of years - I don't want to suddenly wake up one morning
and find a book I'm halfway through gone because some author or
publisher got a hair across.

Your use will morph into a time based license. You may have a 90 day
license to store the author's or publisher's work on your device and
once those 90 days are up your copy self destructs, it just gets marked
as expired and is not removed. You will then be offered the ability to
renew your license for a small fee.

Plus, you can't give the book away once you're done with it, sell it
to somebody else - anything

It's not a great idea in my opinion. You may save a couple of bucks
and some time downloading, but once it's in your Kindle, then what do
you do with it?

There is nothing like grabbing the Kindle and going to the throne room.

Paper books and periodicals have a feel and a convenience.

there any longer than you have to??

Not everyone can take care of business in thirteen seconds. Just wait
until you join the Metamucil crowd. Then you'll understand.

Now that Golf Digest has gone liberal, I'll have to find something
else to put in there. Maybe Golf magazine is still a golfing magazine.
