There is also the ability to carry a plethora of eBooks with you. I'm currently working my way through the Inspector Morse novels, and a few times I've finished off one of them off rather quickly, and so I can easily open the next in the series, whereas if I was using a real book, I'd probably not have the next one to hand.

When I'm at home, I'll switch between ebooks and dead tree books. Away from home, the Glo makes it so much easier to carry a library with me -- at this time, I'm re-reading David Eddings' Belgariad/Malloreon series plus the various books that are related so about 20 books on the go. Not to mention ebooks keep the family's comments about having ~3000 books in the basement down (about 1500 hard cover, the rest in paperback).
