Price is dropping fast. Who would have guessed three years ago that you could buy an ad-supported e-reader for < $90 today? Three years from now I'm guessing we'll be below $50 for a basic e-reader. I think your primary concern fades quickly. Break your device and it won't be as painful to replace it.
I have much more concern over DRM. Amazon is an 800 lb gorilla today. They could still be extinct in ten years, along with their DRM servers and therefore most books you bought from them. Can you break DRM? Probably, but that's an ongoing battle and not ideal for the average consumer.
