Do you buy printed books: A poll
Do you still by printed books, I do. This is the same question asked early simply in poll form. Please use the other thread for the disscussion this is a better place to tabulate the results.

Same with me. For pleasure reading it is strictly ebook only. For other reading, I'll get the ebook if I can otherwise I'll buy the pbook.

Need to Explain:

I only buy special paper books. Generally only signed hardbacks.

Reading high quality printed books has its pleasures, but anything less than the best typography lowers pleasure to the point that reading on my K3 is preferable.

Yes, but only if I a) can't get them in eBook or b) for my other half, since he doesn't have an e-reader and prefers paper.

No more: fiction books.
Yes: encyclopaedias, art albums etc. heavy, big, with color pictures.
Rear case: If electronic version does not exist.

I only buy printed books if I plan to get rid of some, or the book come in ebook format, or it just doesn't play well in ebook format. Price, too.
