I'm in the strongly prefer e-reader stage. The comfort and ease alone are well above physical books. If I move position, the e-book doesn't close. Also, I don't have to hold it open. Incomparably better reading experience.
However, there are still a lot of books that I want to read/do read that are out of publication and not classics. So the only way I can read them is in paper; in that case I prefer a hardback from the library.
An example is Isaac Asimov's old science essays. Some are dated, but I've never read anyone who can explain science to the layman as well as he could. So I suffer through.
