I've never cared the least little bit about metadata, or covers, or organizing my ebooks (or pbooks, for that matter) in any way. I'm only interested in reading them* and then reading the next one. I have zero librarian dna in me.
So ebooks have made EVERYTHING about reading easier, and more convenient for me.
* I DO tweak the formatting of my ebooks sometimes. But only if it's distractingly bad. And even then, there's a limit to how much effort I'll put into it. At some point, I'll just delete the book and move on if it's too horrifically formatted.
