What are your thoughts about eBooks?

I recently bought a PocketBook to motivate myself to read more. So far, it helped alot. I startet to carry it where ever i go. The thing is, its obviously not a real book. You dont have the same experience you get if you would read a real physical book, which is a bigger problem than i thought at first.
So tell me about your thoughts about eBooks :)

Getting a Kindle kept me able to read. While I would probably still prefer physical books in many ways, I have trouble with my hands and holding onto books for any length of time became difficult and my reading slowed to almost nothing before I tried out reading on a tablet my mom had at the time. I preferred a dedicated thing to read on though and have had several Kindles since then and I'm able to read more like how I used to.

Plus as already mentioned I love havingmy entire library at my finger tips with no worry about storage.

Also because of sales I noticed I find myself able to give up on books that aren't really working for me, where before I felt like I had to complete every book. Which just became a chore.
