I do like the feel of a book in my hands, so for my Kindle I bought a book cover. It's a good idea, from simply the viewpoint of protecting the Kindle, but I found it also satisfies my 'need to touch'.

I told my family, I still welcome gifts cards from Barnes & Noble, etc., because while the Kindle is great for books that are mostly text, there will still be books (I love travel guides) that will have lots of pictures, that I'll want in the regular book form.
