Will e-readers force me to doo-doo away with my favorite pastime?

With all the talk of e-readers and iPads being the savior for the print industry, I started to wonder: What does this mean for me? How will it affect my everyday life?
  And I realized something of major importance. I'm not going to go into (much) detail, but I enjoy some good, solid reading material when I am in the can. In fact, it's where I get most of my magazine reading done. This popped into my head: When I spend late nights on the couch posting items to Mediaweek.com with my Macbook on my lap, I often have to bring it over to the kitchen table to give my legs some respite. The damned thing gets hot after a while. Like singeing-skin hot. Now, I don't have an iPad yet, but I can only imagine that the back of it gets hot after a while of being on. And given that when I read magazines on the can, I rest them on my lap … you get the point.
  Maybe I'll be proven wrong in the coming months.
