I'm with Pie on infrastructure not being there, but considering recent developments in other digital media (audio and video) I'm afraid we won't get to the point where you could mail all your physical books and the appropriate titles will be automatically added to your online library, neither do I foresee the swell integration between major online ebooks stores and readers marketed by their competitors. So I don't really see the reason to hold back.
If you like to read there's no better way than the current e-ink readers. While the technology is relatively new (can't remember when the PRS-500 came out in US -- was it 2005 or 2006?) to all markets besides Japan, you already have a splendid selection of screen sizes, features and prices to fit everyones likes.
