Are there any actual advantages to using an e-reader compared

there's only 1 (ONE) ebook reader of adequate size, and it cost like 1500$.

And still flipping through pages would take you forever. Also there's no color.

So for now books are better, unless weight is super-critical for you.

e-reader can hold lots of books in a portable format.

This, plus potential to make books with less potential to sell copies available less expensively.

But I hate reading from the damn things.

Which e-reader is that?

I have your pic related. It's convenient, portable, easy to read in sun light, creates no eye strain, has built-in google translate and wikipedia. But you just can't beat quickly flipping pages with your hand, leaving multiple bookmarks, etc.
I prefer hardcovers at home and e-reader outside.
And yes, you kinda lose that feeling of order.
I also prefer hardcovers if it's math/physics book (you need to keep that feeling of order for these)
And e-reader over hardcovers if it's a book in foreign language (built in dictionary, google translate, and wikipedia are really useful)
Hope it helps.

Agree.
If I want to read a novel like Dune or Solaris, an e-reader is the better choice.
Physical book is better for textbook due to the navigation. They are fucking expesive though and books you get from the library can't be highlighted.

I think he's talking about the Sony ePaper 13in e reader
Fuck, I want one to read textbook pdfs on
