Hmm, from my POV, since I've owned an ereader, I've not brought paper books on holidays.
As part of my normal daily life, I go through probably 1 book a week on the average.
On a holiday, especially a holiday to visit relatives (say the kids grandparents overseas), we let the kids play with the grandparents all the time (who don't see them very often).
With these visits, I will spend most of the holiday sitting around reading, so could go through a book a day easily.
I'm not keen on lugging a stack of books with me to cover that for a couple of weeks, so I just load up my Kobo Glo with lots of epubs and I'm good to go.
As for take off and landing with flights where you can't use electronic devices, it's not very long, so I won't die if I can't read for 20 minutes.
I suppose I could bring one small paperback for those times if it really bothered me (it doesn't), then
there's magazines and papers provided on flights anyway.
I have to admit, I bring a few electronic devices on holidays anyway, such as:
Mobile phone for calls, texts, light browsing, email, games.
Tablet for reading PDFs, movies, music, browsing.
ereader, for reading, I also end up carrying my Wife's ereader and one of my kid's ereaders.
I have this nifty solar charger as well, which is very handy to keep the tablet and mobile charged up. The ereader charge lasts for ages.
