I got a Sony Reader for Xmas not because I want to displace my print collection or buying print books (I spend $200+ a month on p-books) but so that (a) I can inexpensively try new authors and (b) so I can easily carry books with me on trips and to offices where I have to wait (like doctor offices). I think e-books need to be looked at as adjuncts to p-books, not as replacements for p-books.
