I used to dislike ereaders, but I've come around to them in the past couple of years. It's just so nice to be able to load up a bunch of books on a small device. I also find I tend to read in the evenings, and having a backlight is really handy for that. I still enjoy physical books, but ereaders win in practicality.
Physical books are intimidating for me to get started, it's easier to obscure lengths and just focus on reading if it's digital, plus public domain and piracy make it more worth it
