For me:
- Easier access to books in other languages or out of print
- Quick access to a dictionary
- Backlight for reading in bed or in the evening
- Pocketability
- Way cheaper if you read a lot of public domain books (or have a parrot sitting on your shoulder)
That said, I have a jailbroken Kindle, but I am not giving a cent to Amazon. Should it break I'd just get a Kobo.
