So what was the last pBook you bought?

Yes, I still spend a great deal on pbooks. I buy nonfiction in pbook and a few select fiction authors. My ebook purchases are all fiction (except for the very, very few nonfiction books that I buy in both pbook and ebook forms). My latest pbook purchase is the biograpohy of
Heinrich Himmler by Richard Longerich. Every so often I publish a partial list of pbooks and ebooks that I have bought at my blog. The most recent list was published a week ago:
On Today's Bookshelf (XI).
I do not think that ebooks are yet at the point of wholly supplanting pbooks. There are still things that do not come across well in ebook form, mostly in nonfiction.
