I travel by air A LOT. You can't have your eReader on from the time the plane's door closes at the gate, through de-icing, taxiing, take-off and climb out. Can't turn the device back on until the plane reaches 10,000'. That can be a long time (up to 45-60 minutes) to do without reading material. I take both my Kindle and some hard copy books and magazines on my trips. Paper is also more practical for reading in the tub or on the beach on a windy day. I think it's wise never to be vulnerable to a single point of failure when it comes to keeping myself mentally engaged.
