As a noob to ebooks, the concept of getting news, dealing with DRM, vs non-DRM and what other technical jargon that go with the subject, isn't why I decided to go with an ebook.
1. Sure there was the geek factor.
2. I took a glance downstairs, the walls are lined with book shelves, an insufficient number... an ebook would shrink that to a handful of SD Cards
3. My wife's penchant for bringing along the weight of one of our children in reading material, at least my books would fit in my duffle bag when we went to Miss.
4. Being able to find books that aren't available in print form, unless I pay for twice the price in S&H of a book on eBay, or a book is only available in ebook form, as I found out with the final books written by Kenneth Bulmer, heck I didn't even know they existed
5. Minor bonus... I can play music with it while I read
A downside to eBooks... missing out on the artwork on a nice cover of the print version (if there is one, it's 16 shades of gray at best.)
