I used to buy a book or two at the airport bookstore whenever I flew even if I had six in my carry-on. Was a self-bribe to get over my fear of flying. I'm pretty well over it now so I don't usually visit them.
I don't go too far with out an ereader in my backpack or pocket. I don't go to the beach to read, but I generally still have an ereader in my beach bag just in case. I do read outdoors even in the rain and feel that my ereader will survive the experience better than a paper book. returning a soggy library book can cost you quite a bit, and they invariably get soggy in the rain if they are paper.
Ereaders are more expensive than one book for sure, but I doubt I would destroy as many. Does everyone leave their cellphones behind when getting on a plane or going outside? Seems to me that they are just as susceptible to loss or damage.
