1) I've been reading a lot more than I used to. I now read about one and a half hours instead of 1 hour or less. As a kid I used to spend half the day reading.
2) I've been able to find books that I have not been able to find in paperback bookstores.
3) I can spend more on more recent books now that I can get public domain books for free.
4) Paperback bookstores are still my favourite places to visit in shopping centers. The presence of paperbacks is like chicken soup to me.
5) The library is still my favourite place to read, especially since they have coffee and finger food. Though I never browse there anymore; my library has a fantastic ebook section.
6) I never buy paperback novels anymore.
7) I am now more open to magazines as well thanks to magazine apps in iPads.
8) I'm also more open to indie publishing now, when previously,i used to scorn them. Thanks a lot, Smashwords!

And now it seems that I've converted my cousin to ebooks too. He now wants to get an iPad for that purpose.
