I love my e-reader, even though it is a fairly basic model! though at least it does give page numbers, even if these don't entirely correspond to the physical text (they seem to start from the prelims). However, what you can't do when e-reading is skim or flick over pages or look at the end in the way one can with a physical book.
But the convenience is massively convenient, particularly last year when I was consuming huge numbers of scholarly articles: having these on my e-reader was a real boon, even if some of them were really badly formatted pdfs.
