One thing that is good about ereaders in general. You don't have to be embarrassed to read whatever you want on one. The case doesn't give any clue as to the genre. You could be reading sf, mystery or even erotica and no one around you knows a thing about it. And unlike paper you can quickly build a library of classic books that take no physical space (beyond the hard drive on your computer or ereader) and at little or no cost. Paper can't say that. Also physical book stores aren't open in the middle of the night but Amazon and project Gutenberg are.
