They jump into my cart everywhere! I still can't stop myself from perusing the book aisles.

Only occasions which might force me to buy a paper book is either when it's for college or when the author is signing it. The latter happened two days ago and I just had to buy one to get to meet him and get a signature. Still bought the ebook though.

One of the most recent pbooks I bought was a signed copy. I couldn't resist.
I'm in the 90%+ ebooks category, but I still have to have the paper editions of a couple of authors. I own everything That I could get my hands on that Stephen King has written. With his last one - I bought in both paper and digital editions. I actually read the digital one - mostly because of the weight and carrying it back and forth to work- but I couldn't resist adding the paper version to my shelf.
And my college textbooks - I still get paper, just because I do a lot of flipping back and forth, which is too much of a PITA to do with a digital version for me.
