I even go to the library with my ereader, find a comfy chair in a corner, and read.
So, my ereader is my ever-present companion with whatever I may be reading at the time, my old books live with me in my home like old friends and any book can contribute aesthetically to a comfy reading place.

Hmm, we bought a new house in 2006 because we didn't have room anymore for more books... And in the new house we want to have a library, with shelves full of books, two hammocks (one "couch" and one standard one), and plenty of places to lay down and relax to read!
But I do read most of my books in bed and the paper medium is annoying then. As it doesn't have a built-in light. So, I prefer to use my digital medium. But, let's say there's such a huge solar flare that all our electronics are fried, yes, I would go back to the clay tablet if I had to (but I doubt they'd publish them on it, especially not the backlog items!).
