Especially since they haven't implemented all the features that would make them handier than books:
a) Copying excerpts (most DRM readers either forbid this or make it a time consuming BS process)
b) Adding notes (ditto)
d) Easy access to all your bookmarks and notes across your whole book collection.
e) Proper, book quality typography and layout (not markup BS that looks like a webpage), with overrides/re-layouts for larger font-size etc only as an additional option not as the main way to read.
