I do almost all of my 'new' reading in ebooks now; I am gradually adding a lot of my old favourites to my ereader, generally when they're on special offer. I have no intention of getting rid of the paper copies, but it's nice to know I have them wherever I am.
My 'new' (last year) Kobo lets me skip through a book much more easily; it's still not the same as on paper, but it's infinitely better than the old version. I prefer hard copy for non-fiction, especially anything with maps, but in the end the ease and portability of the ebook often wins out.
What I miss is the experience of bookshopping. The serendipity of finding something you really weren't expecting just isn't there with online bookstores, and my reading is probably narrower for it.
