Ebooks have real limitations - can't read them in the bathtub, probably don't want to read them on the beach either
Yes you can. I do it anyway. Got myself a Sony (PRS900). I own lots of gadgets, but this one proved to be the best and most useful. I love reading. And I take it anywhere. Most Sony products in the past decade were meh, but they do make great readers. Very, very sturdy. It came with a leather-like cover AND a case for travel, which I never used actually. Dropped it a couple of times (I never dropped it in water though). And beaches - that's my favourite activity... reading on the beach. Actually, now it looks a little battered (painting coming off on the side), but it's just like a somewhat used book. Battery still lasts 2 weeks (one week if I read A LOT), the screen is scratch-free (despite my best attempts) and done sand doesn't seem to have done any harm
