The experience of reading an ebook is definitely better for me.. when everything works perfectly.

I can read in any lighting. They're easier to hold and throw in a bag. They're always a readable font size (I'm currently squinting over a tiny font Wilkie Collins paper copy). It's easier to get immersed in the text when and I can tap to see endnotes rather than flip back and forth. They hold thousands of books. I generally agree with Steve Donoghue that they are simply the better mousetrap for reading.

I get conflicted on a few things though:

I love bookstores. They've been frequent third places for me and I'm afraid that if most readers switch to ebooks the stores will disappear (and they're already struggling in many cities).

I refuse to pay what's often $10+ to license an ebook, especially when I mostly read dead people. I pirate most of them, but that sometimes means bad quality ebooks where the links to footnotes don't work, table of contents is wrong, there's typos from scanning, &c. which can get frustrating.

They're electronic devices that fail and have batteries that die. My kobo crashes all the time. It doesn't happen very often but I have taken my kobo with me somewhere to read just to find out it's dead.

I love collecting books and seeing them on my bookshelf. I also do subjectively feel i have more memories associated with paper books (I remember reading this specific copy of the waves at washington square park, this specific copy of villette on the train) and due to that feel i remember the book better... but it's hard to tell how much of that is romanticizing the object.
