I mostly read for pleasure and I can tell you I never needed any of the perks an ereader supplies except maybe for the occasional word I didn't know I would pick up my dictionary. Highlighters and notes I have only used for texts books in high school and college. I don't need either of those for reading a novel.
Again I am just trying to illustrate why someone may not want or need an ereader. I have one and enjoy it.

In a similar vein ereaders are good for switching books and/or selecting and starting a new one when you don't want to get out of bed. And if you eat in bed while reading it is easier to get those dratted ketchup marks of the pages
And I've never been able to operate a paper book one handed. With an ereader I can read and sip a beer on the patio or pet the dog at the same time. The dog thinks ereaders are pretty neat.
