Nah, but you do have to read a good portion for it to count. Not just glance over it or read a few pages.

Yes, my number one criteria too is always what I want to read - I will read pbook first any day if that's the only way I could read what I wanted. Even if the pbook is a large paperback book that is flimsy, so that I can't hold it by its spine (the sides fall over then) and have to either hold it with both hands or read it on a flat surface (and then there's the fact of trying to highlight or take notes, and use an external dictionary...). But I digress.
So if the book is only available as pbook, then I'm reading pbook. But if it's available as an ebook, I will probably go ebook every time (which is why I hadn't read a pbook in so long) even if more expensive....well, so long as it's not too much more expensive, but I haven't had that problem yet.
