I've never used one but it struck me as odd that people would use a seperate device for smth so easily done on your phone.

Is there smth special about the hardware? Is it better somehow?

I was the same, I didn't really see the point of them until I tried out my sister's eBook reader. Then I was sold!

Also, while I still prefer physical books, I can't deny that it's nice to just be able to carry my entire library around in a bag.
