Lack of tactile feeling and satisfaction a real book can give you. Books even may smell of age and memories after some years.

When would I consider an eBook? maybe when doing a long holiday and wanting to carry a library with me, of English books. and while I am laying lazy at the beach and my hand is searching blindly for the eReader, I again think: sand. Water. Shock. High temperature and sunburn.

Zero interest over here. Absolutely nil. Rien. Nada. I have a huge library of real books. I like it, I love it, I do not want to miss it.
