I disagree. One of the reasons I bought the Touch was that I was tired of carrying around so many devices with me all the time. For me, the Touch replaced: regular ipod, PDA and ebook reader. I was initially hesitant about a smaller screen for reading, but have gotten used to it and enjoy having something I can comfortably hold in one hand. I even find I am eyeing some ebook versions of print books I own, just because it would save so much space to have them in e-form!
My one reservation about ebooks 'taking off' is that I can just see iTunes trying to capitalize on this and introducing some sort of proprietary software or something we all must use. I like the eReader program, have many secure eReader titles from Fictionwise because eReader seems to be the most enduring and least intrusive of the 'secure' options, and would be really angry if the option to read them on the ipod disappeared.
