From another "geezer", let me answer your question.

I can carry my entire ebook library with me wherever I go......I can read what I want, when I want, where I want.

I can download a book instantly from Amazon, while I"m out and about, or surf while at home and download to my computer.

Anytime I go back to a book, it opens automatically to where I left off.

Built in dictionary.......priceless

adjustable font......right now I'm at a "4" but may in the future need a larger font......ready at a push of a button

No more trekking to the library or worrying about "overdues"......download ebooks, and they 'close' at the end of the load period.. Realize, tho, that not all libraries carry the same varietys. Clevenet is awesome. Yours will depend on where you live.

Got any arthritis issues? Even if you don't, you'll find the reader way more comfortable to hold than a bulky book, and reading in bed is nice in any position.

If you haven't read any of the PD books lately, you are missing out. Realize, these authors KNEW how to write, and wrote books that endure to this day. Tried any Doyle, Wells, Tolstoy, Verne.......the list is endless.

You aren't limited to any one store. There are tons of sites, here, and others, that offer free, legal books. New self published authors are a treat to discover. Thats something you won't find in your local book store.

I have no problem with Amazon deleting books that were uploaded illegally. They must do that in order to avoid prosecution. They've always refunded the prices, and liberating them after buying them means nothing is lost.

Good luck.
