I've been reading a lot more since I got my first ereader a couple of years ago. It all boils down to convenience.
1. I don't have to make time to venture to the bookstore. While I love bookstores, I don't always want to deal with crowds or parking. Sometimes I finish at book at 1am and immediately want to start the next one.
2. I have small hands. It's easier to read one-handed (important when you have feline reading buddies) with an ereader.
3. I really appreciate the ease of changing font and font size to make reading more comfortable on my eyes. They get tired after a day spent on the computer.
4. I don't lose my place, unless I fall asleep with my hand on the screen. (Yes, this has happened.)
5. I'm not tempted to skip forward. No matter how good a book is, I've been known to get a little impatient to know how it ends and skipped forward. It's not really THAT much more effort to do this on an ereader, but I perceive that it is, and thus my ereader keeps me honest.
6. Ereaders are lighter and smaller than paperbacks and certainly hardcovers. I can have an entire collection of books with me wherever I am and read whatever I'm in the mood for.
