1) Because I’m LAZY: books are heavy and I have little T-Rex arms; books require dusting - and I hate housework; books are hard to read in bed when I’m laying on my side - see T-Rex arms explanation; books have too many pages in paper - I read a lot of very thick books; I don’t want to have to get up and go into the next room to get the next book to read - hello! Lazy!

2) Because I’m IMPATIENT: when I finish a book at 2am on Sunday morning and want IMMEDIATELY to start the next one � I don’t have to wait until the store opens, only to find I have to order it. I need my sequels!!!

3) Because I’m IMPUSIVE: I buy books like nobody’s business � more than I ever did in paperback and look up every single recommendation and often buy because of that. Yes, this means I'm bad with money, but food electricity are highly overrated when it comes to books.

4) Because I’m OLD: I have that middle aged presbyopia thingy so making the font bigger is AWESOME and it means I don’t need large-print books, which are way heavier (see T-Rex arms above).

As a result of my ereader - I buy ten times the number of books I did when I bought paper books and discover 3-5 new authors a month - thus supporting more authors - thus making the world a better place (you're welcome!). AND I read more - a lot more. I read 2-3 books a week and I read for an hour and a half every night before bed. My husband knows this as, "Interrupt-Leslie-Only-If-You-Want-A-Divorce" Time.

Okay - that's my list of reasons. Please don't throw paperbacks or (gasp) hardbacks at me.
