I must be the only insane one here who carries her ereader in her pants pockets/thrown in her purse. It's been three years and my EZ Reader is still fine...
The weight of the eInk readers arn't much, the only one I've noticed that's heafty is my Kobo Vox, but it's not the best for books anyway.
Also, I have issues with my hands and can't hold a paperback open long enough to read much of it, so for me, it's hardbacks or an ereader.
