There are benefits to both sides. I do agree with your points, at work for example I'll often print off a page or two of something (even something I'd just written) for ease of having it right in front of me to reference. But there are also benefits to ereaders. I live an hour away from London on the train, and I go there for a night out probably just over once a week on average, as well as fairly often going there and other places for meetings. Until I got a Kindle I would chose between taking my bag with iPad and/or a book, or having nothing to do on the train - the latter on occasions when having a bag with me would be a nuisance the rest of the time. Now I can always read on the train, and it slips into my pocket the rest of the time. Equally for longer journeys, whether it's a couple of days back where I come from (Oxford, ~3.5 hours away from me) or a longer trip, maybe abroad - as I'd always have a bag and/or suitcase taking a book wasn't a problem, but now I don't have to think about how many books I need, or how much space they'll take, and if I fancy a break from what I'm reading I have 100s of alternatives ready to go. But yes, there's plenty of times I'll chose to pick up a physical copy rather than the Kindle, and plenty of books I have in both forms.
