Every single person I know who owns an e-reader started out with "I love books! I love the smell, I love turning pages..." I felt the same way, but now we all love our Nooks and Kindles. Now I carry all of my favorite books with me, a stack of manga, and all of the hard copies I do buy are beautiful.

A tablet/smartphone is not the same as an ereader. Using eInk is very different than trying to read on an LCD, and the only other thing I can do on my Nook without WiFi is play sudoku, so it's not distracting at all.
