Is it just me or does reading a book on some little electronic device seem extremely "geeky" so to speak?

I also prefer real books for a different reasons. I like to read while doing "business" in the bathroom. I once dropped a Blackberry in the toilet and killed it. I don't think I'm qualified to use iPad or any other e-reader in the bathroom anymore.
