Cute, but not wholy accurate.

Infinite battery life: Ehh... modern books? Probably not. It'll still outlive me assuming nothing too bad happens, but... what's inconvinient about plugging something in? I don't use it 24/7. It doesn't ALWAYS need to be on the move with me.

Page always loads: Not if it's fallen out, or is heavily damaged.

DRM free: So is the entirety of my ebook collection.

Never loses your data: Sure you can. Flood, fire, carelessness, running out of space and selling them...

Immune to viruses: Nope. Termites. Besides that, seriously, I have never heard of an ereader virus.

Compatible with all hands/eyes: Nope. Ereaders are the savior of plenty of the visually impaired, where reading may otherwise be impossible or require extra implements.

Vibration and drop resistant: Yeah. Unless you're dropping it in, say, a tub. That'll pretty much destroy a book. My ereader might survive it, if I turn it off and let it dry out completely. Or, alternatively, I can just put it in a plastic bag without it inhibiting my page turning and without having to worry about water damage.

Ereading FTW!
