A few reasons
1) Space
2) I like the idea of having hundreds to thousands of books on my device and hence in my hand at any given time to select from
3) More portable than carrying around books/ useful for travelling as it saves space/weight of several books
4) It saves my book marks in multiple books
5) easier to hold and read than a physical book
6) can read whilst doing other things like eating dinner, washing up etc
7) Can buy books instantly and dont have to go to the shops/wait for them to be delivered
9) Being able to orgnaise my books into collections.
Things that came later:
1) Abillity to highlight and makes notes and store them in an organised way for future reference
2) Dictionary at hand to use whilst reading
3) Being able to search through the book for phrases and jump straight to particular sections.
