Although I have been buying and reading a lot of pbooks, as I mentioned before, I think I probably do prefer the ebook for new releases. The paper books I'm buying are all (at least) one of:
A) Old books that are out of print
B) New authors I am not sure I'm going to like
C) Books I just want to read, and don't want to keep
I guess there's also an element of price in it for the Agatha Christies. There are a lot of them, and they are rarely discounted as ebooks. They're also not hard to find used. Initially they'd have come under C, but now I guess I wouldn't object to permanent copies. Then again, some of the used books I've bought are the nice facsimile first edition hardbacks and are in excellent condition, if I feel like keeping them.
