Yes I do, especially if I like the book to the point that I want it to be a permanent, physical part of my collection. I recently read an ebook, then purchased the sequel in hardcover because it was nicely done, with cool cover art and little illustrations randomly placed in page corners. Bought the original in hardcover too because I wanted to own it, and re-read it in that form.
Recently someone loaned me a trade paperback of a book I wanted to read. I wasn't impressed with the print quality, so I bought it in ebook form for the bolder text/font size options. The ebook was worth more to me than a free paper one, which I suppose speaks to the issue of value vs. price.
Incidentally, a mass-market pb is worth less to me than a stick of gum. I'll pay more for an ebook any day.
