I voted for "a mixture", although it's a mixture that's very heavily biased towards ebooks - I've either bought or pre-ordered ten paper books this year, eight of which I either already have or have pre-ordered also as ebooks (because I want those particular books also on my shelf and in the case of some of them, they use footnotes a lot and I find dealing with footnotes too much of a hassle even on the iPad, never mind my Kindle Keyboard). These are all books I'm quite sure I'll want to read again in the future, and prefer to have both in e-version and paper version.
Only one has been a book that's not available as an ebook, and one pre-order (JK Rowling's new book) is the hardback because I think I'd like it on my shelf and the ebook is just so expensive that in this specific case, I felt the hardback would represent better value for me.
On the other hand, I've also either bought or pre-ordered 164 ebooks this year, so ... with 164 ebooks vs 10 paper books, I think it's pretty obvious where my preferences are.
