If I finish a book while I am on the train or an airplane, I have approximately 300 more books to choose from. I can jack up the font while I am reading in bed, and turn down the light. Once again, I can read until I fall asleep, and don't have to worry about the noise of pages turning waking up my husband.
Most importantly, I always have a book with me. I purposely buy bigger purses (I'm only 5'2") just to hold my kindle. The first time I went to pick up my daughter at school and was sitting in the car lane and remembered I had something to read, the kindle paid for itself in my opinion.

I save on gas, too, as I have no libraries or bookstores within walking distance from my house, and I have to pay shipping when ordering books from Amazon, as well as suffer a 15 day wait for the books to arrive.
I get to buy smaller purses, now. I used to have to wear huge purses, to hold my paper books. My Sony PRS-505 is tiny compared to the books I used to carry - having it is doing a lot for my posture!
