I love ebooks in concept, but not so much in execution. To me, they are still a bit too crude to replace paper books, and I really have trouble forcing myself to spend full book prices on ebooks with kindergarten-level formatting and typesetting. With luck and a little market-oriented motivation, reading software and the books themselves will become much more pleasing to the eye, and if E-Ink and its competitors continue to step up their game and develop more readable low-power screens, I'll shift pretty much all of my fiction to digital format.
For now though, I'll be reading around 50% of my fiction on paper. Academic reading I've been splitting pretty evenly between computer monitor and paper, but none on a dedicated reader device yet.
