All I've read the past few weeks are e-books, either ones I scanned from p-books or legally downloaded free (I've bought only one so far). I still buy p-backs because they are DRM free (I will not buy a book with DRM) and often cheaper than e-books, especially used books. With the exception of the last few Harry Potter books (I would have waited for the paperback but I didn't want the plot spoiled for me) and an occasional one that never came out in paperback, the only h-books I ever buy are used ones (and only if a paperback version isn't readily available). While it is true h-books are usually better constructed using more durable paper, they are grossly overpriced compared to how much more it actually costs to produce them. They were harder to lug around and took up too much room. And now that I'm digitizing, they are a bigger pain to cut apart prior to digitizing.
