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 :)

I absolutely love them.

Reading in bed is great because the backlight lets me turn off the rest of the room lights so my partner can sleep and my brain can settle into getting ready to sleep since it's overall darker.

Reading more challenging books is great when I can long press a word and get the definition or Wikipedia article about it.

The textile feed of paper books is nice, and larger format books don't translate to ebooks very well, but for the vast majority of my reading it's happening on my Kobo.
