Basically, yes (unless the price difference is huge, which I haven't seen so far). If I really want or need to read something at the moment (say, for academic research or reference), price factor is secondary, so I will choose whatever is more readily available. This usually means buying an ebook.
Still, I am not an absolutely systematical person, so sometimes a nicely produced p-book seen in a bookshop just stirs the "impulse buyer" part of me even though I may suspect there is also an e-book available.
