All of that makes it sound like the logical choice. Maybe it’s just habit?
Anyone else stopped using their e-reader?

You missed the big one- reading in bed and dropping it on my head as I fall asleep.
The kindle doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as a hard back book.

Interesting, I'm the opposite. When given a real book to read, I find it annoying that I don't have a Kindle version.

I was given a physical book for xmas, and found reading it on the commute to work such a massive PITA that I borrowed the ebook version from the internet.
Other than coffee table books /similar, the only benefit of a physical book I can think of is that you'll still be able to read them in the daytime in our post-apocalyptic Brexit word without power.

In no particular order, I always miss:
One handed reading.
Built in night light.
Built in dictionary.
Search of the book to find previous passages.
X-Ray to figure who the fuck a minor characters is.
Audiobook integration to listen whilst cooking or ironing or driving etc.
Reading on phone when out and about with no bag.
Buying the sequel the moment I finish it.
Wondering where to keep the thing when I've finished it, or recycle it and feel like a book burner, or forget to take it to the local train station book exchange again and again and again.
Probably more.
