I started reading ebooks on my palm pilot because of the availability of free books from baen and gutenburg. [I originally bought my palm pilot so that I could have a portable database of my books] I bought a very few stories and books from fictionwise
but mostly just read fanfic grabbed from the web and free books.
It took time, the purchase of an ipod touch, installing calibre (for format switching), running out of bookshelves and the loss of a few paper books (a number of books I bought new started falling to pieces!) before I really started buying ebooks.
Now I've bought kobos for my husband and kids plus an android tablet for myself and have thousands of ebooks which are backed up in at least three different places.
