The argument of which brings the feature, the ebook or ereader, is moot. The feature is now a part of reading an ebook regardless of where that feature originates from.
Ebooks for me have advantages which vastly outweigh the disadvantages. They won't fall apart, they take zero physical space, if there are typos I can either edit the ebook or wait for the publisher to reissue a corrected file. Or both. I set the font, and various other typographical settings. I can read anytime anywhere thanks to the front light. I can make notes and highlights without damaging the book
The disadvantages are waiting until release day even if the print edition has already shipped to stores. And I need to charge the ereader, of course given that I can't read 24 hours of every day and the lengthy battery life of ereaders this isn't a big issue.
