I own two kindles. Both of them are eInk. I find that I enjoy reading on Kindles more than reading paper books but my wife is exactly the opposite. eBooks also suffer in the illustration department unless you're reading on an iPad/Fire/Computer; I don't like staring at a transmissive display that long because it eats my eyes.

Cookbooks and shop manuals suck on eBook. However, they're much more searchable. It really depends on your application, I guess.

Most fiction and non-fiction I consume as audiobook anyway.
