I have a bunch of Kindles, including 3 of the latest Paperwhites. And many other earlier models. Also Kobos and Nooks. But more and more I'm reading on my phone with Moon+ reader.
With my current book I decided to read on a Paperwhite and sync with the Kindle app on my phone when I'm away from the house. I did that till today when I was away for the first time and did a few minutes reading on my phone. Now I'm not sure I'll go back to the Paperwhite for this book.
I like the simplicity of the book in my pocket. My phone lives in my shirt pocket and my book is right there. Back in my paperback days I always had my book in my hip pocket. I don't think I realized how much I missed that till a couple years ago when I tried reading on my phone.
I'm wondering about the future of ereaders. The ereader blogs have all but shut down and these forums don't seem nearly as active as they used to be. Ereaders have matured so that there aren't any very interesting changes anymore. Compare the change from the Voyage to the Oasis, the biggest change in a few years, to the change from the Kindle 4 to the Paperwhite, a huge change by comparison.
There just doesn't seem to be much interest in the technology as technology anymore. Of course the point of it is reading books and that doesn't seem to be waning so maybe none of this matters.
