I stopped buying paper books a few years ago. To this day, I much prefer the look, feel and smell of printed paper, but storing books became a major headache for me, as I had so many, tended to live in small dwellibng, and was moving quite frequently. Ebooks solve this problem completely. Moreover I mostly read books to do something with their content, to transform it, to think about it. Searching paper books, even when they have a good index (a rare occurence), is incomparably slower than 'grepping' through my electronic texts. The ability easily to cut-and-paste is also helpful. As others have pointed out, Ebooks, at least on the devices I use to consume them, have one disadvantage: the infinite amount of discraction that internet connectivity brings. But there are work-arounds. For these reasons, I won't be going back to paper.
