I started reading ebooks in the late 1990's when Baen started putting out his ebook bundles.
The biggest changes for me are
1) I tend to read by mood more since I don't have to search the house for a book that fits my mood.
2) I read multiple books at a time. Well, actually I did this before, but it's a lot easier not to lose track of what books I'm reading
3) I tend to go on reading binges more from the stand point that I'll find a series, author or subject that I find interesting then read several of that in a row. For example, I just finished John Ringo's Black Tide Rising series. I had bought the first one as part of a bundle some time ago and never got around to reading it. Then a month ago, I gave it a shot, liked it, bought the other three and read those (also got the audio books since Amazon had them real cheap if you had purchased the ebook). I just finished Anonymous Soldiers, a book about the Struggle for Israel from 1917 to 1947. That peaked my interest, so I bought several more books on the various Israeli-Arab wars.
4) I have all my books with me at all times, so I read more at lunch more and in the various time periods when I'm waiting.
Actually, I would say that the biggest change is more in how I buy books (which leads to how I read). It's easier to buy whole series now. I normally try to read series in order, so before, if I happened to see a book in the book store that looked interesting, and I saw it was the 3rd in a series, but the first two where not stocked, I didn't buy it. Now, I see a book online line that I like, I see it's the 3rd of a series and I buy all three.
