I still prefer reading ebooks even though, as I mentioned, I've definitely been reading more physical books lately. I think the reasons are really: (i) I've been focused on Kobo for new books, and Kobo has been letting me down in the price department lately; and (ii) if I hear about a book that sounds interesting, I'll run to Kobo and if I'm turned off by the price I'll most likely forget about the book rather than shop around online, but will pick up the physical book later if I see it in a store.
As someone pointed out, I should really be checking Luzme (or the search in Calibre), but Kobo was cheap for awhile and it conveniently syncs across my Kobo ereader and my iPhone. My real problem may just been locking myself into Kobo's ecosystem. Since starting this thread, I've switched from a Kobo to a Nexus 7, so will probably just start using Google's book app; I don't know how that app compares to other Android apps, but it does sync across devices for epubs I upload to Google's app store.
