My first ereader was my iPhone 3, then the original iPad. I always kind of thought I'd get around to getting a kindle when they got cheap enough. By the time they did, I just didn't see the need. I don't like to sit out in the open sun and read. I can read just fine outside if there is shade. Even that is so small a use case for me, it doesn't matter.
Right now I read on my iPhone 4S and iPad 3. My wife and daughter have iPad mini's and I find them to be a much better size for most reading of novels.
I'm reading Eric Flint's 1632 series (alternate history, sci-fi) and I find myself using the "look up a definition" of words quite a bit. So much better than a paper book. I really can't stand to read actual, physical books any more.
ebooks brought me back into reading. From maybe 2 or 3 books a year as an adult -- back to 50 or so (I know, it's nothing compared to many of you on this board).
