I specifically bought an ereader because we moved to a much smaller place and I realized how much space my books really took up (and how heavy they were!).
I have made a point to keep the younger-reader ones around so my kids can experience those ones at some point. Also any sort of coffee table book with pictures (like my Marilyn Monroe Encyclopedia) are staying because some books are just better in physical form.
My husband still has his books - though he doesn't read any of them. I do usually get him a book or two for xmas each year, but only because he's difficult to shop for. (This year it was Chuck Norris Facts $0.50 at the library and Ron Burgandy's autobiography.)
My daughter (age 7) has an increasingly growing pbook collection.
