My experience has been the opposite. With my beloved e-readers I find that there are really only one or two ways for me to hold them (being thin flat rectangular slabs of plastic and glass) and my hands will begin to get stress points due to all of the monotony. Especially due to the fact that I can't put my thumbs on the screen somewhere, which is exactly where my thumbs want to go to be relaxed but I have to force them to the side or bottom, which is stressful over time.
With paper books one of the primary advantages for me is the myriad of different ways that I can hold them. So I try to toss a paper book in every once in awhile between the ebooks.
