This.
And like others have said, better battery life, less eye-strain, less distractions, etc..
I highly doubt e-ink readers will ever completely disappear. They will probably get cheaper and better (higher res, better battery, insert your future prediction here). I can see voice commands coming soon. "Next page", "Go to map on page 7", or "How many pages until the next chapter?". Well, maybe not but ya get the idea.
