I feel as though it's helped me focus better on what's in front of me, rather than diving down the rabbit hole of information that is the web. I've read far more books in the last year and more of paper books than I did the previous three years electronically.
I don't want to imply that your experiences are irrelevant, but if screen fatigue were really big enough to drive ebook sales then we would see the same trend elsewhere.

We don't.
