In regard to the dangers of pbooks I did get a nasty paper cut a time or two while reading.

What are you innumerate ? What's the statistics on ebooks spontaneously combusting ? Must be extremely low at best.
Do drive a car ? More Americans have died in car accidents than in the Vietnam war but people still drive. Maybe, you should stop driving and sell your car.
Also, who the hell walks or drives while reading an ebook ? You can walk or drive and read a paper book too. I fail to see your point as walking and texting or driving and texting is alot more common numerically speaking than walkng or driving while reading an ereader and a physical book can cause the same fate.
I bet you alot more people die walking drunk, in Manhatta, by cars or driving drunk than by death by ereader. The numbers, statistically speaking must be extremely low.
