I'll throw in my two cents.
Yes, we can read ebooks on all sorts of devices, but we can't do so comfortably.
Having said that, I'm actually going away from e-readers, I've owned three Kobos and on all of them I've eventually had problems with the micro USB port and charging becomes a challenge. I'm sick of that and refuse to keep buying these devices. I had Kindles in the past, and I remember having issues with at least one of them too.
Before I get slammed about being rough with the devices - I've never once had issues with phones or other micro USB devices.
I recently bought a Microsoft Surface Pro and I'm super happy with it - not so much with the e-book programs, but it is what it is.
I'm just about to retire and mobility/weight is not the requirement it once was so that's one less reason to depend on e-readers. Freedom!!
The only drawback I've encountered is that a Surface Pro is a real challenge to use when reading in bed. It's damn near impossible.
