I used to run out of things to read every time I went on a trip and end up buying something awful in an airport bookstore -- or carry pounds and pounds of books. Or finish the book I was reading when I was at the doctor's office and have nothing to read while waiting. And constantly, never-endingly try to shift things around my house to create more shelf space, because unless I hate a book, I don't like getting rid of it. Because I have back issues, I love being able to lay on my side to read -- quite a challenge with a paper book.
None of these are issues anymore. I'll never go back. Absent very special circumstances (like buying a book at a signing), I can't envision ever buying another fiction book in paper.
