I don't think having an ebook reader precludes people from buying/reading real books. For me, ebooks are like the difference between vinyl and an mp3. Vinyl is better to listen to and handle, but if you can't find it or can't afford it when you do find it, mp3 will do instead. I bought an ebook reader primarily to read books that don't exist in paper form.

Now, I tend to alternate between reading an ebook and reading a real book, mainly because I have plenty of both that I haven't got around to reading yet, and some of the real books cost more than the ebook reader did.
