  3. DRM free: I'll give it that, too (granted, I always disinfect my purchased ebooks).
  4. Never loses your data: See number 2. Another thing, it loses bookmarks and annotations (basically post-it notes) a lot more often than my e-ink reader. I've also bought some duplicates because while the books themselves might retain data, I've misplaced several books inside the house or forgotten that I've already purchased a book - happens when you've got a large number of books and not enough shelves to put them in.
  5. Immune to viruses: As mentioned earlier, termites. Mold and mildew for humid climates.
  6. Compatible with all hands/eyes: Nah. My PRS-350 is a lot more compatible with my hands than your typical mass market paperback. Forget hardcovers.
  7. Vibration and drop resistant: Not if the book has a particularly delicate spine. I've seen some books with pages that have flown off after a mild drop.
