First off, an ebook is a book. Ebook is just another format to read it. Right now we have the capability of accessing more and more books either in a print version or a digital version.
I still like both. I often use print ebooks for reference where I might need the book open while typing on my computer. This may change as I now use multiple monitors on my computer. All my new fiction books are ebooks, so my greatest expenditures are there.
My main reasons for the switch:
1. Portability: I can carry 100s of ebooks in a device the weight and size of one paperback.
2. Free offerings: A huge number of free ebooks to explore from classic and new offers.
3. Multiple devices: I read my ebooks on my tablet, phone and computer.
Because of the inherent advantages of ebooks, I can see a day in the future where most new books are primarily released as ebooks with a "print on demand" option for those who prefer a dead tree version. But they are still "books."
