I prefer reading on my ereader and I'd love to get rid of the clutter (and I have years of p-reading in the house already), but buying pbooks is unavoidable.
Some (many) books can't be had in ereader format. Once you go outside the mainstream, it gets pretty scattershot. Especially for older books not in the public domain, there's no choice but buying a pbook.
Price! The Sony Reader Store recently had a coupon for 20% off. I found a book I wanted; the coupon would have knocked it down to 13 bucks and change, but when I looked on the Amazon Marketplace I found it for 28¢ plus $3.99 shipping (and hardcover, to boot). Done. I want to keep my devices stocked with a variety of books for when I really, really want the ereading experience, but when I can get three pbooks for the price of one ebook, well....
