These books are being read on the recommendations of members here, and I'm finding lots of new worlds to explore.
I would say the same thing. But I think that is the direct result of interacting with a community of readers that you didn't previously belong to. Had you had similar interactions with the same group of people the same thing would have resulted even if you were reading the books in paper back.

Although this is an indirect result of your getting an ebook reader since you sought out this community as a direct result of getting the device.
