Positive
--------
Portability - as a speed reader, I love that I can travel and not cart an extra suitcase of books. Also, that I don't have to keep adding bookcases.
Free Ebooks - love the amazing amount of free ebooks, both classic and from new and established authors. Makes discovery of new favorites a joy.
Night Reading - Love on my iPhone and Android tablet how I can set the screen to night view and read without disturbing my wife.
Negative
--------
Battery Power - phones and tablets use a lot of power, so you have to time charging so you can continue the book.
Availability - disappointed when a title I want isn't available in ebook format.
DRM - hate it when I mistakenly buy a book with DRM without realizing it and have to mess with Adobe.
Pricing - some ebooks overpriced. But this does seem to be improving.
Geographic restrictions - really annoying when a book can't be purchased in Canada
Errors - some ebooks have many formatting and typos. Print books did as well, but ebooks seem to have more.
Overall the positives hugely outweigh the negatives. And I am sure they will get better with time.
