You only read one book at a time, but if you travel and read fast you may need quite a few books for the trip (I speak as one who was in ~40 counties each year for most of my working life). And sometime you want to look something up but don't know that in advance.
And while Kindle can erase your books without asking, dedicated Android readers can't.
I've wanted to carry all my books wherever I go since I read James H Schmitz' novella "Novice" (Heroine had pocket portable library) when it was published in 1962. Didn't think it could happen in my lifetime then, delighted when I got my first primitive reader in 1997.
