That's pretty much my experience with ebook readers years ago. I still love dead-tree books, but I find it easier to use the ebook reader in places I normally can't, or shouldn't:
- Reading in places without a lot of light. It is that or bring my headlamp.
- Travel, definitely, but also while running errands
- Reading while eating (not healthy)
- Reading while smoking (also not healthy ... )
- Trying to search for keywords in a book
Most recently, with having to help take care of an infant, I find myself unable to put in long, uninterrupted hours to read. It was easier to read a ebook on my phone or on my Kindle. And if my son spits up, it is easier to clean a device than it is my dead tree books.
However, I remember growing up with my father's library filling up an entire wall, and my mother regularly bringing my family out to the library. That's an experience I'd like my kids to have. I have a wall of books, though these days, I am much more mindful about curating them.
