Yeah, I've found myself drifting back towards physical books in recent months. Now that I've had an ereader for nearly 3 years, some of the novelty has worn off, and maybe some nostalgia for dead tree books has crept in. So I've found myself buying some hardcovers and paperbacks but still buying plenty of ebooks as well. Maybe 60% ebooks, 40% physical. Real books, even paperbacks, seem now to me like an aesthetically pleasing luxury item.

Plus you're right, on price books are very competitive, especially factoring in used books. And also, the fact that I can get just about any physical book through interlibrary loan, whereas my library's ebook selection unfortunately seems to consist mainly of young adult paranormal romance.
