Of course I do. E-readers are good for some kinds of books, not so good for others.

Coffee table artbooks/serious non-fiction how-to/academic reference don't really work all that well on a 6" e-ink screen, though some publishers do give it a valiant try.

And I'm a used bookshop haunter as well. Despite the mushrooming of backlist e-prints for certain categories of genre fiction, there's still an overwhelming majority of stuff which has simply not been available new in any format for years, if not decades, and which I don't expect to become so any time soon.
