I do actually think this is important; there's something about reading a book and I like that Kindle has some "bookishness" to it.
-
I agree, there is nothing like sitting down in a big comfy chair and reading. I'm not sure I would like using a hand held device instead of the actual book.
-
I don't think it's important for the Kindle to look like a book. I'm pretty ok with reading something non-bookish.

E-book devices like the Kindle allow you to change the font size: aging baby boomers will appreciate that every book can instantly be a large-type edition. The handheld device can also hold several shelves' worth of books: 200 of them onboard, hundreds more on a memory card and a limitless amount in virtual library stacks maintained by Amazon. Also, the Kindle allows you to search within the book for a phrase or name.

this is one feature that I really do like, the changing of the font size!

These are important features for making things more available in alternative formats. Electronic versions offer instant large print and ways to have it read aloud. These features can be helpful for many people with disabilities.

I have heard about ebook devices that allow the reader to adjust the font size. I have gotten to the age where that is a great selling feature for me.

in a study that involved 85 teachers and 170 classrooms, the teachers used interactive whiteboards to teach a set of lessons, which they then taught to a different group of students without using the technology (see Marzano & Haystead, 2009)

This is a significant increase in student achievment!

I agree, this says IWB are definitely worth the money in my opinion for students education
