That started to change when Amazon got into this game, and in 2010, we saw a veritable explosion of available books, both high-quality free to low-cost PD material, and mainstream novels.

That pretty much mirrors my ereading experience. I started reading Baen books on a PDA, but I was still preferentially reading paper (in fact, I bought paper copies of several Baen books that I liked). I bought a Kindle two years ago and now rarely touch a paper book.
