In this Newsvine Poll entitled "Do Kindle owners hate books?" I stumbled on an obvious "What the Kindle Can't Do?" -- "Without power, a Kindle is nothing but a piece of junk. One can read books without power, as I did in the weeks after Katrina." Worse, it can die in the middle of a page -- exactly at that moment where you're most involved in the story....and at that crucial moment, there is no turning the page and moving on.

Unless, of course, you are prepared and have taken one of these along.
