It is very convenient to be able to have heavy book text in a lightweight reader. It is very inconvenient to have purchased a textbook for my Kindle that I can't follow page numbers on especially in the middle of class and my professor says "Go to page..." and then I just have to flip or do a word search for the section in order to get there and be able to follow along. I will not be purchasing another textbook for my kindle if it doesn't have the real page numbers, even if it means multiple pages on the Kindle having the same page number as the text. There are also a few places where the text is smashed together.

Okay, so I rented this book because this is the text my professor picked. It was "easy to read" I suppose, if all you have to do is read it. But if you want to study, the index is pitiful and it's very hard to relocate the theories without highlighting it. Since I rented this book, I was hating it with a purple passion before midterm. It was only an 8 week class, so that should tell you something.
If all you want to do is read it, great, this is your banana. But if you have to study from it, because you are a student and not the professor, go ahead and buy it. The pleasure you will get from burning it after the class is over will outweigh the extra expense.
