I can definitely see your point ni'k. I mean, why not have as many books as you want at once on one device? It was only a matter of time before these pocket .pdf readers came out. Some people read more than one book at once, and a gadget like this is absolutely perfect for their means.
BUT, there is something undeniably romantic about physically holding a book in your hands, and manually flipping the pages. That old book (or new book) smell... no eReader could ever truly replicate that.
It's the same reason why I still track down the original cartridges of my favorite SNES games, even though I have a laptop with an emulator, access to more ROMs than I could ever want, and even a USB SNES controller replica. It's still just not the same.
The same argument applies to why I buy DVD versions of films I already have on my hard drive, or why so many users on here insist that vinyl will never truly be replaced.
