Device: PocketBook 360, before it was Sony Reader, cassiopeia A-20
If you get tired of the same device, the remedy is simple. Just get several different covers for it.
You can also get a reader that can be turned upside down or 90 degrees, so you can change hands and/or positions you use to turn pages.
You should also get device that lets you change fonts, formatting, and even menu graphics easily (like my PocketBook does). Sometimes I read for a month on the same setting (Gentium font), other times I change font 3 times an hour (only to return to Gentium Book Basic).

On the other hand, when I read paper book nowadays, I am constantly annoyed how awkward it feels in my hands, how I have to use both hands to turn the page, how I have to wrestle with it so it isn't closing constantly, how can't I change font or formatting to something decent. Also my e-book reader doesn't have various funny smells like some library books used to have. And stains in library books ..., do *not* get me started on stains, and scribbled translations in English books from our non-English library ...
