Things I know I will only want to read once and are popular and likely resalable, I'll get in paper. If it's something I want to read multiple times or is unlikely to be bought by my used book shop, I'll usually go e-book. The only exception is a few choice authors I want in nice hardcovers. But that's less than a handful. Even then, some of those I double up for convenience, with a nice collectible edition for the shelf and one on the ereader for convenience. (Yes, I'm looking at you, Prof. Tolkien. Also you, PKD.)
