They'll get reloaded on the new Kindle. Since the books are digital, Amazon has a record of my purchases and they'll let you re-download them whenever you want.
Try that with a paperback.
Oh, yeah? Well, try having 100's of books laying around you've already read and have no use for anymore, at all. Ha. How's Kindle looking now, huh? How 'bout them apples? Ha. Uh...err...umm...yeah.

Since I don't even have a bathtub in which I could comfortably relax, that's not an option. On the other hand, I seriously doubt an e-reader would do well in that situation.
I can tell you that I have several books that have been read since having been soaked by various means - one, after I chased it downstream floating in a creek. Books are pretty durable - you can leave them outside for the winter, drop them downstairs, toss them across the room, spill drinks on them, run them over with your car - and they usually hold up.
Of course, the other great thing about books is, they're cheap to replace. Lose one in the bathtub, get another for a few bucks. If they start making Kindles as cheap as paperbacks, it's a consideration.

PORN doesn't count.Even colored EVERY page in some of 'em.
My already read books typically go to Sharon because she and I like the same type of crime drama and political thrillers.
That's the bad part about Kindle: once you've read a book, you can't pass it on.

A ha! Obviously a commie plot to control the free flow of underground books.

You're trying to make me dislike my Kindle because YOU don't like my Kindle (based on some arbitrary reason you dreamed up in your head because you've never even used the Kindle).
But it won't work! I love my Kindle!

You DON'T like Kindle but, your love is such that you are blind to the sublibiniblidblemal messages it flashes at you while you're 'reading' (being controlled by) it.
A test; You smoke cigarettes, right? Kindle. A certain brand, right? Kindle. Use a certain type lighter? Kindle. Recently buy any new computer hardware? Of a certain brand? Kindle. Any recent trips? Specific airline? Kindle.
See? :shrug:

I can't believe that someone who does all of that actually has the time to read. I'm impressed.I can't believe someone who makes her own perfume, pasta, and cheese, and buys real Christmas trees, and eats bone-in chops would own a fake book.

I love Amazon... I not only buy from there... But I also have a small store there - where I sell used DVDs, books, and CDs (for those that still buy them).
I've made over $1,500 extra this year... Good for some play money.
Amazon holds sellers to higher standards that a lot of places... (Must ship within 2 days, must be in exact or almost exact condition described, etc.) I highly recommed everyone checking it out... to just buy or to sell your old no longer watched DVDs...
