I don't think the Kindle versions will ever be able to fully replace the paper versions of Tolkien's books - it comes nowhere near my Hobbit book for example with the illustrations. I mainly like it because it's light weight and I already have so many textbooks to carry and I don't have to worry about tripping because I can't see over the pile of books which was a problem last year.

I would suggest trying to see it and play around with it in person before buying it if you're not sure.
