1) To read PD ebooks, which I'd been downloading intermittently for over a decade and even reformatted to read on an Archos 605 PMP.
2) To proof read new novels without the massive cost of ink/toner and paper.

Gradually the ratio of paper books to ebooks of recent titles purchased has changed over the last 10 years, faster since switching from 6″ Paperwhite 3, to 7″ and now 8″ Sage. Wife prefers buying ebooks now.
