For myself, over six months ago (in the spring), I read a library hardcover because it wasn't available as an eBook. I no longer purchase pBooks for myself, I only borrow them, for comfort/space/clutter reasons.
For my children, today, yesterday and every day since they were old enough to pay attention. We own and borrow many children's pBooks. I do read eBooks to them, but the selection is still pretty small compared to our library's generous selection.
On a separate note with pBooks, I have always had issues with the various formats, but now that eBooks are an option, I have no motivation to put up with them.
I loathe reading hardcovers - I find them heavy, uncomfortable and difficult to hold open while reading in bed.
I tolerate reading trade paperbacks, as long as they have the nicer paper that hardcovers use.
I prefer the size of the MMPB, but I hate the narrow margins, how I have to crack the spine in order to read close to the gutter, and I can't stand newsprint paper, especially if it is an older one that has begun disintegrating.
I loathe reading newspaper - the texture and ink transfer are very annoying.
I like reading magazines, but any that have a female audience are ruined by the stupid perfume inserts.
So my reading for the near and distant future is likely to be 99% digital. I can wait for any title - there's plenty on my TBR list to choose from.
