e-readers are amazing!

Elysiana:
I don't *think* there's a way to upgrade but they seem to be pretty resellable so you might be able to recoup some of the cost.

KvP:
My technophile dad just gave me his old Nook! He just got a Kindle.

Ikrik:
So, my kindle broke. Sort of.  It kept resetting every single time I turned it off and then on again.  And would let me browse about two or three pages before locking up.  Reset the entire thing (to factory settings) and then upgraded the firmware.  Working perfectly now.

Another con of the kindle, hopefully we haven't discussed this before.  These e-readers, they have problems, they are not perfect.  They can/will break and you won't be able to access what you want to read.  I had to go for a few hours without any entertainment because my ability to read was impaired.  Books do not have that problem.

Toba:
Books run out of pages and then poor you didn't bring another one.  I think this happens more often than ereaders kick off and stop working.

Ikrik:
Yeah, but your book running out of pages is a) forseeable, and 2) easily remedied by having another book. 

A piece of technology not working properly means that you lose access to everything and it can be quite difficult to fix.  Potentially I might have had to send in to Amazon for a replacement.
