1. We don't have a local bookstore. Before my Kindle, I bought like 4 books at a time from Amazon so I could get super saver shipping. Probably the BIGGEST push.
2. No more holding open books with my poor little thumb. 3. Always know where my book is! One thing I am happy about that was NOT a reason for me to buy an eReader is that I don't destroy book covers in my purse anymore. |

It's a lot easier to balance a cat and a Nook on my lap than it is a cat and a book, and this is especially true now that I have three lap cats instead of one.

It's a storage issue for me. I share an apartment with two others and space is limited. But there are books I simply must have with me wherever I go, and my NC makes that possible.

i don't just doze off with ereader in hand, i pass the bleep out. with my glasses still on and everything. probably because its far easier to get comfortable in positions that promote sleep with a 1 handed device than holding a paperback open. |

accessibility of the physical form
storage space easy to carry around and reading on the bed better and more comfort choice, compare to reading on the computer screen |
