E-books have opened so many doors for me! It has been quite amazing! Authors I'd never head of before getting an e-reader are now among my favorites.
I suppose some folks have the time and money to hunt down a one-hundred year old volume. But when you get it in hand it's liable to be fragile, or smell of dust or mildew or stale tobacco smoke. Ugh!
E-reading has connected me to books long out of print and long gone from public library shelves. In these cases the physical, paper book was not an option.
