I feel the same as a_str8 and OakIris.

I love that a gadget can make my reading more convenient and space-saving when I want or need it to, but sensually, I still prefer paper.

The whole organic, tactile feeling...form... the leafing of pages... and I'm a sucker for good cover art.

I've always seen good books as small works of art. I collect them, and I'll continue to buy the ones I really like. I'll just stick to digital-only for those books I'm used to reading and then passing on.
