Bit with a book, there's something about making the half way mark, or counting the pages till the end of the chapter; to see if you can stay awake just long enough to make it... Plus, a book never goes dead.
Like WorldWatcher, I used to be all paper books. I never was a fan of hardcover though, I always much preferred paperback. Eventually storage became an issue, and I got a Kindle. I'm glad I did. It is much more comfortable to read a Kindle, or similar device, than a book in most ways. Turning pages is easier, ereaders do not have to be held open (which makes them easier to read 1-handed), and so much space can be freed up where the books used to go.
Ereader screens are very similar to book pages, too. I haven't tried a back-lit reader, so I don't know how well those work. I do think that using a clip on book-reading light, as I do, is more convenient with an ereader than a paper book, though.

Keeping an ereader charged isn't hard. It doesn't take too long, and the charge lasts for quite a while with a good one. That is certainly an advantage to paper books, though.
Not showing page numbers is my biggest gripe with the early Kindle versions. It shows percentage of the book read, instead. That's actually nice to see, but I'd like to have the page numbers prominent, as well. The Kobo I had showed page numbers.
