No way i can use it as a headrest, pillow or forget it in the rain, or even step on it. I think in this aspect books are still better than liseuses...

True, I think they both have the strengths and weaknesses, but when it comes to reading in the tub, the ereader wins hands down. I just use my vacuum sealer around my reader and get in the tub. You don't have to worry about your soaked fingers soaking the pages w/ each turn. If you drop it, you haven't ruined the book.
I guess when I think about books vs. ereaders I think about how I feel about cars and their transmissions. I've always driven a manual transmission and just love the feel of driving a stick, but...electric cars become more affordable and more practical, I'll be the first person online at Tesla Motors. I may love the roar of the engine and shifting btwn gears, but a silence, super quick and clean car wins hands down any day of the week.
