The thing that converted me 100% to e-books was when I was injured in an accident in 2013 and spent about 6 weeks in the hospital and rehab. I was so grateful that I had a Kindle with me already loaded with dozens of free books from Project Gutenberg, plus the ability to download more. (One of the EMTs who loaded me in the ambulance thought to ask me whether I wanted to bring a book to the hospital, along with making sure I had my wallet, phone, keys, etc). I can't imagine how I would have kept myself from going stir-crazy with nothing to read, or being dependent on friends to keep me supplied with reading material.
Anyway, before my accident I was only using the Kindle to augment my collection of paper books, and afterwards I basically stopped buying paper.
