Because, I'm a geek, but also:
- I'm lazy. Regular books end up lying around the house instead of making their way back to the bookshelves.
- I'm lazy. I have to get up and go get a book off the bookshelf if I'm stuck reading pbooks.
- I'm lazy and I hate to dust. Pbooks collect dust. Ebook readers never get the chance.
- I'm lazy and all settled in in my comfy clothes. If a given book's available electronically, I can have it in under a minute, and I don't have to get out of my comfy clothes to go get it.
Basically, my ultimate reason for getting an ereader was 'cause I'm a slug.
A geeky slug.
Oh and also because I like to go to concerts, and standing in line (and in the venue, waiting for the bands to come on) is boring without a book, but I'm a small person with small pockets, so what am I supposed to do with the book I carried in once the show starts? That's where the iPhone really shines for me.
