I'm going to skip all the stuff that gets talked about regularly and note a couple of less obvious things that have become apparent this summer:

* Reading at night despite power outages. Thanks to thunderstorms we had a lot of power outages earlier this summer and it was great being able to settle back and read anyway.

* Attract less insects. Summer here is a time of insects. With an e-reader you can turn the main lights out, set the e-reader front light very low, and enjoy reading without insects buzzing around the windows and finding ways past the insect screens (there are always some) to annoy you.
