My primary reason for reading e-books is very simple - space.

Houses in the UK are small. I do not have the space to store 10,000 physical books, but I can easily store 10,000 eBooks on the hard disk of my computer. I have 100 or so of my very, very favourite books as good quality hardbacks; my other books are eBooks. I don't therefore need an eBook reader to be "better" than a paper book, but merely provide an adequate method of reading.
