I suppose that my ebook buying habits have changed. I bought more books on impulse when I first got a reader, however I still buy a lot of ebooks now, a lot more than I did before I got a reader. The fact that they don't take up any physical space is still a big incentive for me. Before I got a reader it was the lack of space for books in my apartment that held me back, although they were piled up on the floor after the book shelves were at breaking point!
In general, maybe the number of people buying new devices is reaching a plateau. I also think that ebooks are still quite a novelty to the general public as a whole. Most people are still content with reading physical books. I also think that people are reading less in general which is sad.
