I've not bought a newspaper or magazine for a long time. I don't actually visit newspaper sites, but the internet has filled that slot. The screen has also substituted for reference books, either through search engines, or dictionary apps &c.
Apart from a few books (well, probably into three figures!) on my iPhone in case of emergency, I haven't really switched over from paper books. I've just ordered an eReader, so I think that's about to change. I've been disappointed with the quality of the paperbacks I've bought recently - pages falling out as soon as you open them and that sort of thing - and I'm very careful about how I open books. Even new hardbacks often aren't properly bound. What I think is going to happen is that I'll buy a few old versions of books that are really special, well printed and bound, on good paper. For the rest I'll go electronic.
