I use my e-reader for free books and digitized versions of paperbacks or hardcovers I already own. I'd probably re-buy those digitized versions more if the pricing made any sense whatsoever. I'm not interested in paying $8 for an e-book of something I can get for $2 at a local used bookstore.

If I'm going to spend $14 for a hardcover, it's going to get put in a nice acid free book jacket protector and put on a shelf. Where in 20 years I can still read it again.

For books I'd like in paperback, I'd prefer to buy e-books. But I'm not buying a DRM'd, non-transferable product for more than it takes to ship a physical product to my doorstep.

So I'm doing both. Mostly still print books, in fact, especially hardcovers.

Not to mention used hardcovers. I probably buy used hardcovers of my favorites more than anything.
