So my experience with an e-reader has varied over the years and I had essentially abandoned the idea of an e-reader over the past 5 years. However, I have been in NYC for this summer and riding the subway everyday so I eventually dusted off my Kindle and have loved it! I still think that you are right that a physical book provides a better experience, but the ability to pull out a book hold it in one hand, highlight passages I like, and take notes has been amazing. Not only that but I have enjoyed the fact that once I finish a book I just download a new one and don't have to wait for Amazon or find a bookstore(not that it is difficult to find a bookstore in NYC though). I do believe from my anecdotal survey as well that more people have physical books, but that does not mean that the kindles are nonexistent either I have seen several people with them as well. In reality it is probably closer to 60/40 because the vast majority of people I see on the subway are playing smartphone games or watching Netflix.
