Is there something about all of this that I'm not considering? Given my situation, can anybody suggest why I might want an e-reader?

The only thing I could imagine is degrading eyesight. Obviously it isn't a problem for you until now (and I wish you that it will stay so for long), but e-readers has helped a lot of people with eye problems to be able to continue reading.
