3) Just lay it down and forget about finding that bookmark that always ends up between the sofa cushions. It always returns to the page where you left off.
4) Lots of indie (Independent) author works available for free or cheap that you'll never find in a public library
5) Most eBooks are sightly cheaper in eBook format than paper (pBook) publications (or at least should be).
6) You can take your reader on a trip and take dozens (or hundreds) of books with you in the palm of your hand

Very nice summary. eReaders certainly aren't for everyone, but those are some compelling reasons to give it a go.
I have Kindle, which I'm enjoying, but I hope to get an iPad soon. It offers so much more and my old Kindle makes me feel like I'm stuck in 1995.
