seems to have free versions of all Charles Dickens' work including the obscure.

Because of their connection to libraries, and other sources, openlibrary.org also carries free versions of many modern books, as well.

Even Amazon hasn't blocked that (yet?) and they are far from the only game in town.

They work (typically awkwardly) with a small subset of library collections.

The screens have improved, the prices dropped and for those of us with increasingly weak vision, they can be a godsend.

They have obvious ways they need to improve but:
I believe they are well worthwhile now for Gutenberg books, non-keeper textbooks, big thick manuals and cheapo read-once books and that opens up shelf space for keepers.

The concept of ebooks is great. I'm currently reading a 4 inch thick Dicken's novel, and I'd love to have a slimmer way to carry that around. The execution is what's terrible.
