Ebooks didn't kick start a reading habit for me. I already had it. I don't remembr not knowing how to read, and have always read a great deal. It's fun.
What ebooks did do was make it easier for me to read, and easier to get around to reading a vafriety of books. There are a number of books I've always meant to get around to reading, but there are limits to the number of books I can actually buy and have shelf space for. A lot of classic works got bumped aside because other books had a higher priority on available funds and shelf space.
The vast majority of those classic works are in the public domain, and freely available in electronic format. I can stick them on my PDA, and carry a library in my pocket. I've always read a great deal. I read even more now, because I can do it where ever I happen to be, and read whatever I happen to feel like. With 3,500+ books on my PDA, I'll find something that will fit my mood...
