The only thing that turns me away from ebooks is that most sellers could just stop providing books to you. If amazon goes out of business and your kindle breaks, good luck getting your books back. I can't imagine trusting any service that I don't host with data as important as the contents of books. I have some books that have been passed down to me by my grandpa from Russia. I wouldn't be able to do that with an ebook that I don't host myself. TL;DR: When it gets less proprietary and I can use my own device and storage medium I'll buy into it.
