99% of my new purchases are e-books, but there are a few series that I have chosen to continue in pbook form. Repurchasing all of them as ebooks would be ridiculously expensive.
I'm similar to Nyssa, though for different reasons (I still want most pictorial books in pbook form, as well as most cookbooks, but there are also some emotional idiosyncrasies that may have me buy the physical item as well as the ebook, and I particularly like 2nd hand pbooks). It would probably be fair though to say I'm in transition from option 3 to 2.

To put it another way, I have an Amazon Wishlist called "pre-ebooks" where I'm not buying them until they're in ebook form, and keep the list to remind me to check occasionally.

Cheers,
Marc
