The reasons why I prefer paper books for my Non fiction professional needs are
a) There are books that I will continue to use and refer to for the rest of my career. I dont know if the ebook vendors in existence will be around in 10+ years. I dont know how long they will support the current book formats. So in some sense for books that I intend to use till I retire having them in a paper form sitting on my bookshelf is something that is reassuring.
b) Price - I buy a lot of my books used on amazon. Its shocking how low a lot of computer science / math books sell for.
c) For most of my reading needs I would require solid pdf and djvu support which seems to be lacking currently in most readers.
