I certainly hope that Americans aren't the only ones who believe in paying for something. Just because a book or song is in digital form doesn't make it free. But to the question asked...I prefer to read ebooks and it has nothing to do with the books being cheaper or free.
I am in a darkened room right now and have no problem reading (I use an iPad). I can set the font size larger. I can look up the definition of a word just by pressing on it. I can find and buy books instantly. No having to drive to a store or to the library. I have an iPhone and can pick up from where I left off when I am out and about. And yes, there are lots of free books like the Baen Free Library or Project Gutenberg. My iPad is a lot easier to take around with me than a hard back and my iPhone easier still.
I read only 3 paper books last year, all from the library. Each time it just reminds me how much more pleasurable I find reading on my iPad or iPhone is to reading a paper book.
