As for my experience - I even quit reading ebooks from monitor.
Now I buy or download e-books that looks interesting for me, read it, and if there is something really exciting - then I buy hardcover.
I also buy books with illustrations - photoalbums etc (as a photographer).
My son who is 9 yo, also reads his books from my PocketBook 301 - we are downloading lots of adventures and fantasy for him. I think about model for him - to stop fighting
