Of course, resizing fonts etc. is also great, but for me, portability was a tremendous boon.
Preach on brother! That was me for years. When I use to go on week long beach camping trips, I would carry a dozen books with me. With eBooks, I have my entire library with me at all times. Heck, now I can even recharge the reading device with a portable solar array and charging device if I'm at a primitive camp site with no electricity, all of which weighs less than 5 pounds and fits easily in one of the pockets in my backpack. Add in reading devices with batteries that both hold a charge for a long time and last a week and it don't get no better than that!
