Mobility actually isn't a factor for me, as I only read at home. The light weight and comfy one-handed hold certainly are, however.

I mostly read at home, too. But I've moved a lot in recent years, and not having to haul 5-10 boxes of books is a plus. They are now in storage waiting for me to find something more permanent.
I almost never search for a word within a book, but the couple of times it has happened it has really been a godsend! Still, last time I did that was on my computer long after having read the book (a paper book).
I want to love the highlighting/note taking features, as I imagine it to be really useful somehow, but I've never gotten around to it. I used to do this all the time with physical books - have a separate notepad, where I jotted down interesting words and phrases and my thoughts while reading. Now I can do that right on the page on my Nova 3, and even share and export the notes. But it's just not interesting for some reason.
I guess I'm analogue at heart
