There are many many answers to that question, and it doesn't have to be as cut and dry as "I will read the DTB".

I've tried reading pbooks since getting my ereader, and I just don't enjoy the experience. The books I tend to read are big heavy monstrosities, and I miss the convenience of a dictionary right at my fingertip. If it's less than 200 pages, I might consider it. Maybe.

The only pbooks I still read are cookbooks, crafting (knitting, etc) books, and children's books.
As far as I know, there are only 2 main formats for books, paper and digital. If it is only available in the DTV (which is as the OP stated), that excludes the digital format, and therefore the question is will you still read it in DTV. Seems pretty cut and dry. Especially since there was further clarification of "'are you willing to put up with a paper copy?' ".
