As a new eBook reader, I'm finding arguments on both sides. Most of my personal library is technical and often dated material, so finding such literature in eBook format is probably not going to happen anytime soon.
But for novels, I vote for the eBook. You don't skip chapters normally when reading novels. The dictionary is right at hand, not on the shelf across the room. I can read with one hand and hold my coffee in the other. I can lay the eBook down quickly to answer the phone without losing my place. I can obtain countless 'classics' at no cost. I can accumulate an 'armload' of books to take on vacation without paying extra for luggage on the plane.
No regrets here. I use both.
