I'm generally a lover of actual, tactile books myself, often preferring to buy a book I really want in print. However, I do own a Kobo e-reader which I find very convenient in it's own right. I just wanted to comment to say that, while I agree with a number of the points mentioned in these videos, this one presents an invalid argument. You can drop an e-reader in the tub and not get electrocuted (in fact, you won't likely even so much as damage the machine). A book, however, is ruined by water.
