E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance

I only buy physical books. Not trying to be sarcastic here, but I have yet to find an E-Reader that gives me the same relaxing feeling that looking at ink on paper does at the end of the day. For the the library-in-one device convenience hasn't outweighed the disconnected simplicity of reading a book.

After spending a work day staring at a screen I have zero interest in looking at at yet another display.

There's reading for pleasure and then there's reading as a requirement.

Carry around dozens of 1000+ page technical reference volumes? Nah, no thanks, I'll take an instantly searchable e-reader I can stick in my pocket, with non-destructive notes, highlights and bookmarks that'll sync between my devices.

Reading for pleasure? Gimme a hardback any day.
