This is exactly why I don't have an eBook reader. I don't do a lot of reading where an eBook reader would be handy, but I tend to keep a paper book handy, especially when traveling. There's absolutely no restrictions on when I can use it (flying, jury duty), coupled with all the other reasons you give... really is the perfect solution for many use cases. What I personally don't have is the desire to have lots of books around. I keep a handful handy, but try to get rid of ones that I won't re-read, lend, gift, or didn't have HUGE meaning to me.
