So, I should be watchless, but instead wear a nice slim and reasonably stylish electromechanical watch. Why? Convenience as much as it being a decent looking accessory -I'm a compulsive clock checker. I guess the point is that despite the cellphone being so much more capable, I still prefer wearing the watch. I think it will remain much the same for many with e-ink readers. Personally, I've yet to see the LCD display that doesn't glare or isn't just a shade too bright for my taste even with the display brightness cranked down.

not quite a good comparison at all: I've not worn a watch in years and don't miss it at all, stylish or not.
checking the hours on an LCD display for a moment is acceptable, reading on it for long periods of time is not. My smartphone is far more convenient than my kindle, but not for reading at all.
