My main reason:
A little over a year-and-a-half ago something went awry with my equilibrium. Along my world becoming like "Space Mountain Gone to Hell" on a 24-7 basis, I was unable to read for more than a few seconds. (BTW, a major drawback I found with audio-books is that, having fallen asleep, I had difficulty finding my place.
I am much better now, — still not 100%, but I really love what I cando — but my eyes fatigue much more easily than they did a couple of years ago. Enter my eReader. When need be, I can enlarge the type greatly.

Secondary reason: I thought it would be a really cool toy.
