I buy ebooks because I have intermittent low vision. Large print books worked ok, but the lighting is never right. The ereader has freed me up to read when and where I want to instead of under very specific conditions.
I am also think I am sensitive to the "renters economy" issue. I think I preferred owning them, but I'm not sure why. I've had to dispose of books in various ways in the past for running out of space etc. And I have had books lost or stolen, or borrowed and never returned, so many time. Now I can actually read the books I buy regardless of the quality of my vision. I don't have to worry about running out of space or carrying huge heavy boxes. So I don't know if I really don't like the new way or if I'm just resistant to change.
