Personal preferences vary, of course. I don't like reading in direct sunlight, but if I were standing in a nightmarish Disney line, I'd rather have a paperback. No worries about dropping in case someone bumps you; no worries if you get tossed around on a ride. I wouldn't bring a Kindle to a beach, either. I'd wanna be able to walk around without my e-device being stolen if I put it down. I like e-reading fine, but people (not you specifically) get obsessed with gadgets sometimes.
