I have felt this way from day one but I know many people feel differently.

ProfCrash sums it up nicely for me too. Ereaders are far more comfortable to hold, turn pages, much better for my crappy eyesight where I can change the font style and size to what's most comfortable for me, much easier to carry around daily since it's already smaller than 1 paperback. And I always have another book to start if I finish up one while out... I used to hate those times when that would happen with paperbacks and I still had a 45 minute ride home. And the space ebooks have saved me has been the best incentive of all to stay with digital books. I've pretty much tossed or donated all my old pbooks with the exception of some nice hard cover editions.
While so far books I've been interested in have always cost less than the pbook, I probably wouldn't mind paying a few dollars more for the ebook because of all the advantages they offer, but not more than that. I don't like it and think ebooks should cost less than pbooks, but sadly it's one of those things I just don't have control over.
