Even with my e-book reader, I still do the majority of my reading on p-books because it's usually cheaper. I either borrow them from the library or buy them used. With publishers placing so many restrictions on e-books, it's hard to borrow a lot of e-books I'm interested in. I do try to borrow e-books when I can since e-books are easier to handle. The only time I buy e-books is when I can get a substantial discount by way of coupons and specials.
