Except it is a valid reason for some folks. Otherwise it wouldn't be mentioned as a reason to use an eReader instead of a tablet. All people are different. If the trick of not using a tablet (with all its distracting goo-gaws) works for you, then it works for you. Period. It really doesn't matter if you *should* be able to ignore those distractions, some people can't. (For me, reading with a tablet is really not much of a temptation.)

Slow? ... how fast does it need to be to turn pages?
Fragile? ... that's what a good case is for.
Black and white? ... for me that's a plus when reading novels or non-fiction.
PDF support? ... not really an issue for me since I don't read PDF documents on eReaders (or on tablets ... and rarely on desktops or laptops).
