I occasionally read pbooks, either if I have it already or if I really want to read a book and it isn't available as an ebook (which seems to happen less often than a couple of years ago). However, this year I haven't read a pbook yet and last year, I think, only one.
Although I live in a big city in the Netherlands and the big bookstores have English books their selection isn't that big and they're more expensive than the ebook version. I also like that with an ebook I don't have to think in advance what I want to read next week before going to the store or ordering online (I don't order at the store because the guy running the English department always wonders if I will pick up the book I ordered), I can just buy it when I'm in the mood for it and download it immediately.
As other's have said I also love that an ereader is so small. When I went on holiday in the past my suitcase/bag was mostly filled with books, now I just fill up my Kindle (if I don't take my notebook with me) and have a lot more space for other things.
