A kindle shouldn't be much different than a book since it doesn't really emit light (If we don't talk of tactile feeling, of course)

There is something special about reading real books. I just wish my life was more stable. Over the years I've lost my huge physical book collection that I started as a kid due to a combo of lots of moving and limited space to keep them.

The convenience of digital means I don't have to suffer that particular loss anymore.
