I really don#t get the whole "feel of the paper" thing. I don't feel, smell or rustle the paper, I just open the book, start reading and depart this planet, returning only when it's time to do something else.
I get the same effect with ebooks. As long as the reading device is "non-intrusive" and has a good display (eink for example) I can use it just like I do a regular book. Since it's usually designed for one-handed use it's even better for reading on the go and whilst eating (I know I'm not supposed to do that...^^) so there really are only advantages imho.
What can be tedious is the content management (although Mobipocket is fairly easy there) and the fact that we still have to wathc the battery-meter with most devices these days...apart from that I'm fully digital where my reading is concerned.
If a book is not available as ebook I don't read it...well, if it's something I really want to read badly, like the last potter volume then I do get it as paper book...
