I haven't read a pbook since I bought my ebook reader (April 2010). I lost my reader for a few days and started to read a pbook, but was not happy (could be the story, or the percieved awkwardness) so I took my laptop to bed. Was not great, but was better.
But... I get all nostalgic feeling when I go into a bookstore to buy a gift. All the nice shiny books are incredibly tempting, even though I know I would be not totally happy reading them.
I do not look forward to a world without bookstores, or libraries without physical books. So I am glad that there are many people who prefer them.
I do look forward to more and more obscure and out of print books being available in any medium and this does seem to be coming about.
