The thing is, he could recreate the situation he likes by only adding books to his device as he reads them and thus would still have to choose the ones he wants to take before leaving.
Personally, when I am going on a short trip, I want to pack as lightly as possible and my reader is just perfect for that because I won't run out of stuff to read and its no heavier or bigger than a large paperback.
As far as ebooks being marketed to the wrong people, he is dead wrong for a number of reasons, firstly its a lot easier to get somebody interested in ebooks when they are already into reading and just need to be talked into a slight format change rather than a whole new interest and secondly word of mouth is huge benefit to sales.
