I bought my Nook five days ago and have downloaded almost 60 books. With the Nooks extra extra large font, my glasses and a magnifying glass, I am once again able to read a book!!!

Oh, and one more reason I just thought of: Being able to download free from the library gives me a little more independence (I don't have to rely on someone to drive me to the library.

My main reason is quite simple: I love to shop via webstores. Mainly because I like to hold my purchases in hands instantaneously. That's why I prefer iTunes (and some "more grey" sources) over DVDs. And that's why I prefer Nintendo's and Sony's online sources over UMDs/cartridges. And eBooks over paperbooks...
