I haven't brought any books in a while (broke grad student here) so I borrow from the library a lot. There are some books I want to read that available in e-book format but the overwhelming majority are still only available as p-books so that's what I end up reading most of the time.

Specialist publications (watchmaking in my case) always benefit imho from being able to flick back and fore.

Exactly. I'm not sure why people feel that they must exclusively have p-books or e-books or have more e-books than p-books. Some books that I want aren't available as e-books. Plus, if a book is one that I want to mark up and take notes, I'll still buy it in p-book form because I just feel more comfortable being able to do that in a p-book at the moment. However, I often read novels in e-book format if the novel is available as such. I just go with whatever format is available and whatever format works for me at the moment.
