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 like them! I didn’t think I would but I like being able to highlight sections and save them to read again later. Also just being able to carry like 500 books around with me if I go traveling or something, that way I’m not stuck with whichever one I chose before I left.

    They are wildly overpriced though IMO. There’s no print costs and the file sizes are tiny so the servers can’t cost that much, there’s no way they should be the same price as a print book.
