Its funny, I actually find it the other way around.
While In bookstores I might read around more in the same genre, on switching to eBooks I'm finding that I'm reading a lot of books I would never ever have thought off reading if I saw them in the bookstore. Some of the books I've discovered by just random trawls through the bookstore, searching by title or keyword for a certain word and finding a lot of interesting books which iIve never seen before.
While eBook selection is a bit limited compared to paper books, especially if you have a good local bookshop with a lot of variety, I've found that I usually have more to read then I really have time for. Coupled with rereading old favorites, I've not run out of reading material in past couple of years.
Also, Half of the year I'm in places and countries where English language book selection tends to be mainly limited to the latest bestsellers, if that. As such the variety available as eBooks and the prices are often a godsent, especially when comparing it to some of the prices for books in some parts of the world (50%-100% Markup).
