Here's a scenario I think a lot of people have come against...
You have a book you are enjoying reading and want to finish it. You are close to finishing it. You take it with you not realizing how close to finishing it you are. You sit on public transportation and finish your book. Now you have nothing else to read.
Now if you had a Sony Reader.. you'd have just switched to another book and read. Problem solved.
I do use our public transportation and I do see a lot of people reading books. And some are reading nice big heavy hardcover books. That means they have to lug it around with them. It's not all that light depending on the book. And it take up extra room in his/her bag. Most of the time I see women reading the hardcover books. They'd be much better off with a nice eink reader to carry around.
