I agree with this, but I think the scope of Kindle’s revolution is limited by the learning barrier for using it really effectively. For fact retention/retrieval, I think naive paper book may beat naive Kindle use. Physical cues are just so intuitive.

Dog-ear pages? Have a pen handy? Take notes on a separate pad? However intuitive physical cues are, I've never found an actual end-to-end process that works for me. ("Backups always work; it's restores that fail.")

Think Robert's right about the learning curve, but once you've found a good setup I think Kindle beats out paper books — simply because it's easy to export the notes/highlights to a central place, rather than have them 'trapped' within each book.

I chatted with Robert offline about this. I’m not a power user: highlighting, book previews, and text search is basically all I use. But those are tremendously powerful.
