I have many reasons to be glad I switched to eBooks.
1) I was running out of storage space in my home.
2) I could carry my entire library with me. I used to carry two books around when I was close to finishing one of them.
3) eBooks are cheaper than hard and paper covered books.
4) It is easier and faster to start reading eBooks after you purchase them.
5) I do not need a separate light source to read in the dark.
6) I can order books directly from my eReader.
7) A built in dictionary.
8) I know longer have to memorize the page I stopped reading on.
9) I can also read magazines on the same reader.

Perhaps adjustable font size was the first reason for my selection of ereader. To carry a lot of books at time, and not carrying a bulky dictionary always, was another. Of course, the price factor of ebooks vs. pbooks was an important factor too.

This. :2thumbsup

Bad back. I can lie on my side and read with an e-reader. Try that with a paper book, especially an 800 page hardcover.

Also reclaiming physical space in my home, and being able to carry multiple books while traveling.

Have you never heard of bookmarks? ;)

Bookmarks can fall out or get misplaced.

You misplace your bookmark and you just use any old piece of paper you have handy.

Portability was by far the number one reason. I rationalized that I wasn't much of a reader anymore as I didn't want to lug books around.

After I bought an e-reader, my number one reason for continuing with it is accessibility. I cannot read on paper anymore--font size adjustment is a must.

Well now I tend to use parts of pages of magazines. The problem is, I keep drowning the bookmarks.
;)

Bookmarks, feh, why use a bookmark when you can dogear your page and/or break the spine by leaving the book open and facedown?

From 1999 complete series in my PC (later, in my pocket) with search and copy/paste of quotations - study of text evidence.

For real favourites I have copies in pbook too.

I had a Tungsten E 2 which I used to hold a couple of dictionaries & reference books for school; still got into ereaders late as the 1st one was the Nook 1st gen.

Reasons to remain on ebooks have the listed by others with the exception of one big one for single people: housekeeping. Ever checked the dust accumulation on the top of the printed books sitting on the shelves, especially the books that haven't been touch for a long time......I sometimes make an attempt but it appears to me that the dust have been embedded onto the paper. Has anyone made an attempt to dust the shelves? I know, I flunked the housekeeping class like failing the cooking class as well........

um....no. That's sacrilege.

Bookmarks could fall out and were just something else I had to carry around. I consider dog earing a book or placing it face down while open sacrilege.

I had always just memorized the page that I stopped at. I did not have a problem with remembering the page number, but with eBooks I did not have to even think about it. :D

Did I just hear someone's nails on a chalkboard?
