Baltimore gets hot and extremely humid during the summer and the end of spring. We also have a number of pests to deal with, including bed bugs and, especially, stink bugs. Hot humid climates aren't exactly great for electronics either. Also, eink technology and rechargeable batteries do not do well in the sub-freezing temperatures we get during the winter, while paper books are unaffected.
On another note, my daughter found my Pocketbook 360, may it rest in peace. Apparently, my two year old somehow got his hands on it, smashed the screen in with a yellow brick, and hid it behind the bookshelf. There are bits of yellow coloring stuck to the screen, which is noticeably dented inward. That's what I get for not putting the cover back on. RIP.
