I started reading more pre-1900 books that I wouldn't want to carry around with me. I like that I can now carry a tome (several in fact) in a 9 oz. format.
It has got me to read more in the last couple of years since I got it. I am averaging 35-40 books a year since I bought my reader.
Back in the paperback days, I hated to get something too thick as I don't like to stress the spine of the book to breaking it. I treat my books with great care and always felt bad if I did break the spine. Now I don't have to worry about it in the world of e-books.
