I am a fan of books, but I'll only get an ebook reader if:

a) I can be confident that books purchased will still be readable in ten years.

b) That I can still do all of the usual things I do with books, like lending and moving them from one platform (shelf) to another.

c) That at no time there is even the possibility of books being remotely deleted from my device without my permission.

d) That ebooks I purchased are owned by me, not rented or temporarily borrowed.
