The ability to be reading a book mere minutes/seconds after discovering it is a huge advantage that ebooks have over print books for me. I don't have to wait for days on them to be shipped to me, and I don't have to burn gas (or even leave my house) to go get them. Find, buy, download, read--all without ever leaving my recliner.

That convenience represents a considerable monetary value for me (as do the other things you mentioned). So in general, I feel rather fortunate that I can usually buy ebooks for a little bit less than (or the same as) their print counterparts. They're worth more to me after all.
Yep, all those are reasons that I prefer ebooks.
