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 :)

95% of book reading occurs on an ebook. I use a kindle and download books from my local Library. A Kindle, Libby, and a Library card is the best investment I have ever made. My reading increased by 200%! (okay that number is made up ... but I read a lot more now).

I need to get my library card as I believe my local library supports Libby too. How long can you have the digital book “checked out”?

@brcl I believe it is 3 weeks and you can renew as much as you want as long as there is no one waiting for the book. But other Libraries may have different rules.
