It is really convenient to hold hundreds or even thousands of books such small devices like today's readers.
Besides being able to carry on your whole book collection with you, I also find more comfortable, on my case, reading a 1200 pages MS-SQL or Oracle book with my ereader, instead of holding the real book on my hands.
Price can be the reason for getting some ebooks, but would be interesting to know if that's more important or not than just the convenience factor. I think it is personal preference as well.
