I halfway agree with SoulfulDog. If you don't want to switch, don't! I prefer ebooks but that's me. I can't see any reason that any one should switch if they don't feel a need. Paper books still work as well as they always have and they get amazing battery life.
If you do decide to try one though, I suggest trying it seriously with a really good device. At least try one with a front-lit screen. Most of the new models have front lighting except for the very cheapest ones. That's the feature that separates modern ereaders from old fashioned ereaders and it makes the reading experience a lot better in any lighting conditions.
There's a guy on Ebay now selling nearly new Kobo Auras for $50. I bought two of them and they're like new. It's probably got the poorest front light in the industry but it's still way better than the models without a front light. And, all in all, it's a really nice device with a good feature selection.
I don't buy my books for it from Kobo. I get my books from Amazon and I convert them so that I can read them on either my Kindle or my Kobo. I prefer the Kindle but they cost more and if you're just trying it out you might not want to pay that much.
I think if you try ebooks you'll probably like them but I wouldn't do it just because others are doing it. You can still get all the books in paper and there's no reason to think that's going to change any time soon. I suggest deciding if it's what you really want to do before getting one.
