You seem to have a limitless supply of money, or you have a way of getting audio books for almost free. Does Amazon still give Audible books away when you buy the ebook?

Over here in the Netherlands, an audiobook can easily cost €20 or so.

The e-reader may become unfashionable, but I won't be reading on one. When in public transport, I see loads of people tapping away (so not reading) on mobile phones. Sometimes, people just stop in the middle of the sidewalk, just to answer a message.

Seeing people walk around like zombies with a field of vision no larger than about 5 inches has made me hate mobile phones, and therefore I don't use one in public unless I have to.

I'd rather start taking paper on public transport.
