I bought my Kindle Paperwhite in ...can't even remember when. I've gotten so used to it that sometimes I forget not all people read their books with an e-reader. While it's certainly not for everyone I definitely wouldn't go back, and here are some of the reasons:

• It's light
• You don't have to keep the book open
• You don't need a bookmark
• You can read in the dark without burning your eyes
• Great battery life, could probably outlast time itself
• Can fit thousands of books
• You won't need bookshelf
• Can download books
• Long-tap to see word dictionary definition
• Take highlights without a marker
• You can change font options
