I didn't "switch" to e-books. I added e-books in addition to paper books. I probably have at least 1,000 paper books in my house. I don't want that number to increase, but I have no intention to eliminate paper books from my house. When I get new paper books, some of the paper books have to go.
When I'm looking for a book to read, looking at books on a shelf is a different experience from looking at a list of books on a device. Plus, I just like having them there.
What hooked me on the e-book was public domain books. Books that were once obscure could be had in a minute. 1,100 pages of Don Quixote suddenly weighed nothing at all. No more old, yellowed pages to deal with.
There's no need to choose between paper books and e-books. You can have both. It's not a marriage. Your e-reader will not be jealous if you continue to read paper books. Your paper books will not go "Fatal Attraction" on you to keep you from e-books.
