I wouldn't use them as the main content font, but they are great for some things.

Most books use them for text associated with barcodes (such as ISBN number), LOC number, etc. - and they are also necessary for ASCII art.
What eBooks have you seen that use Monospaced fonts for the barcode, LOC or anything else, deliberately, other than something like the name on a door or a sign?

Just like monospaced font always did, you end up with rivers, if you use it for more than a word or so.

ASCII art? In an eBook? Rotsa ruck with that, as Scooby-Doo would say.
