I buy most novels in an ebook format. But bigger books such a gaming books (tabletop RPGs) and non-fiction books, for example I recently bought an A4 sized book about the crusades with lots of castle maps and site pictures etc.
This would not be suitable on an ereader and I would far prefer a pbook version for that.
Mind you after saying that, I bought a tablet recently, I probably would have been happy enough reading that bigger book on a tablet, which has colour and a much bigger screen.
Still the large book I bought was pretty old and is unlikely available in an electronic format.
So maybe for me it's more accurate to say I will buy older physical books if I can't get them in an electronic format or if I just seeing them being sold really cheap (like cheaper than the ebook variant.
I probably wouldn't buy cheaper physical novels over an ebook as I just don't have the room for 100s of novels, but can spare the space for the occasional larger book, which I buy a lot less frequently than novels.
