I for one feel the negative effect of the ebook world. Never before I got my reader was I able to get all the books I'd like and read at a non-stop pace. Either I'd buy second hand books, or borrow from friends or in the very rare occasions buy new books. As my tastes are not the most ordinary, books were hard to come by and then I'd "eat" them in a few days.
But now... there seem to be hundreds of books I'd possibly enjoy. I finish a book and there's a sequel to follow. I finish a series and a new one, thousands of new pages, is easily available.
So I finish the "must" tasks of the day, I go for a rest, read a few pages and I find myself reading in 3 AM. The next day I go for a boring lecture and what do I bring in my bag - that's right, the Kindle thingy. The lecturer starts repeating himself, I take out the Kindle and 10 minutes later I have no idea what the lesson is about.
It's like drugs, but there's no medication
