I don't know if eBooks have increased my reading or not. I recently retired and read a lot now that I have the time, and that coincided with my acquisition of an eReader. The eReader online community, in turn, has opened up a world of indie authors which have tempted me away from reading volumes of 'big name' authors as @xg4bx has said. I still roam the BAM store 25 miles away and a favorite used book store, and I am a very strong supporter of our local library which subscribes to Overdrive and loans eReaders. I suspect that my eReader does make it a bit quicker to read a book without having to separate pages when turning and by retaining my place when I might otherwise forget to bookmark during an interruption.
