My first Kindle arrived in January 2008. I was in the UK and my Kindle arrived at my home in the USA, so I had to wait a couple of weeks before I could use it. In 2008, I read 55 eBooks and 78 paper ones. The next several years, the ratio of eBooks to paper books was about 1/3. Finally, last year, the eBooks overtook the paper ones, with about a 2/1 ratio. What turned things around was that my libraries started offering eBook check-outs.
