A huge advantage of the eBook over the physical book is weight. I am looking to move and packing all these books and carrying them out the door makes my back hurt. Reducing the paper will gain me space in the long run. And there is a lot to be said for that.
This leads into another area that eBooks would be perfect for: Textbooks. I haven't spent a lot of time on the forum yet but I haven't seen a mention of replacing 40 lbs of textbooks with the eReaders. Just download from the campus book store and go. I do think the first eReader that taps this market will be a huge winner because they will capture that market share of folks who are most likely to read.
