I mostly read non-fiction ebooks on physics, economics and politics. I like fiction (Terry Pratchett, Alexander McCall Smith, Tolkien, Ian Fleming) but I listen to these as audiobooks. I like reading but I move around a lot so I enjoy being able to listen to books while in transit. I might read more once I get my Sony Reader though... we'll see.

Alas this is probably true for legal ebooks. But there are thousands of really good science ebooks being shared (aka pirated) which I can never find in local bookshops. Sure I could order them off Amazon but that comes with a high shipping cost and at least a week's wait for delivery.
