Hmm...I'm not the itinerary-traveler type, but if I were, I'd prefer pencil/pen and paper to an ebook reader. A simple, reasonably durable notebook is more portable, versatile, reliable, and a lot less heartbreaking to drop off a mountain or into a pool.
Or you mean traveler guides? I guess it would be ok on an ebook reader, but I can't imagine it being all that useful. Navigation across several books is just a pain in the butt with an ebook reader device right now. If I want it all on a digital format, I guess I'd prefer a netbook or something where I could much more quickly access the information, but even then, I think I'd be fine toting 2-3 guide books (or one Frankensteinian rebound guide) which are far faster and more accessible and disposable.
I suppose the only thing I'd use the reader for on a trip, other than novels obviously, would be a single page document that says "I have no money" in 2-3 relevant languages that I could pull out and show to any possible assailants or extortionists abroad. That could be a lifesaver right there.
