In my home, we have a Sony ereader, a Kobo ereader, and now I have a Motorola tablet, as well as 2 smart phones with lots of books loaded on them. We've found that the main reason to use the ereaders is to save space (we don't have much for paper books). It seems that the phones and tablet get the most use as they're always with us, so they get used for reading while we wait at doctors' offices, etc. I don't mind paying a hefty price for a just-out book if it's one I really want to read, but I DO tend to get a lot of free ebooks when they're available.
Using the ereaders, I've discovered whole new (to me) genres of fiction such as Steampunk, to which I'm really addicted now!
