Yes, but not often, for books not yet in e-book form. Mostly out-of-print, not yet public domain, science fiction. For example, I just bought James Blish's "Cities in Flight." It was the last trade paperback of it available at Amazon, shortly after a discussion of the book here at Mobileread. Hmmmm. I'll be reading it when flying to/from Korea during all those take-offs and landings when I can't access my Kindle.

Paperbacks are also good for leaving on planes when one is done. No need to lug the thing around after reading it.

I am much more comfortable reading on my kindle than any physical book. I can read with only needing to access the kindle for page turns. No need to forcefully hold it open (mass market paperback) or propping it open (hardcover).
