Because no one can see the title and cover of a book you read on a Nook or Kindle. Fans of the erotica genre have always been reading lots of it. Ebooks made it possible to indulge, and to be secretly rebellious by reading erotica at work or in school (or during church meetings?). The ebook is the perfect medium for erotica writers, since their fans now can read them "openly" without having to worry about any social fallout from being caught reading what others around them may frown on.
Sorry for the off-topic pseudo-hijack there.
