I switched to Nook when they first came out and haven't bought a book since. I did change to Google Play books and standard tables/phones but there is no going back to real paper books (for me).
1) I always have my book with me. Have to wait 15 minutes in a waiting room, take out the phone. At home I have my nice large tablet.
2) Page sync works great. Read 10 pages on tablet and move to phone and it starts off on the correct page. Same when I switch back to the tablet.
3) Buying a new book is super simple and instant. (Note that if traveling internationally, be sure to buy/download extra books from home before you leave as Play may not sell you books if you are abroad. Reading always works.)
4) Free samples keep me from buying books I've already read or don't like.
5) You can import any books you already own and still get all of the above.
The only issue I have with standard tablets/phones is that full daylight reading kills batteries but you still get most of days usage so even this isn't that big of an issue. Not enough to switch back e-paper which is too single purpose for my wants/needs. Sure they are nice for reading by the pool but I can't look up were to eat lunch on it so I still need my phone with me which defeats the purpose.
