I don't live close to any bookstores. Ebooks allow me to get books at any time of day, without needing an hour+ drive to the nearest city, or waiting two weeks or more (which I'm doing right now for some cookbooks and a few secondhand books that I can't get in e format) for them to arrive in the mail. Ereaders and ebooks have been magic for someone like me who can read a lot.
They also take up no physical space (which I'm running low on anyway) and only a teensy bit of space on my hard drives.
