I love e-ink. It reads every bit as nice as a page, and I can take a library with me anywhere I go. My philosophy on e-readers comes from a friend who teaches English and who reads more in a week than I do in a month. He maintains, correctly, I think, that most books we buy are read only once, after which they are either stuck on a shelf, given or lent to someone else, or traded in. He (and I, now) buy books on our e-readers. If the book is grand and a definite re-read or conversation piece, the hardback copy of it will be bought. If the book is merely a time-passer, no harm, no foul. I value my Kobo reader.
