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 :)

Nothing beats the feel and smell of reading a physical book, but ebooks do have their place. If I'm traveling somewhere and I don't want to carry extra things or worry about damaging my book, I can just read the epub version on my phone. Convenience is a huge plus, but it does feel less engaging and a book will never need you to recharge it.

Gardening, cooking, and some other big favorites are what I keep a physical copy for. The rest are all digital.
