I can't stand pbooks any more. Last summer while on a solo bicycle tour I took a few paperbacks as I didn't want to worry about breaking my Kindle. Hated the experience. Trying to read while eating is a pain as the book closes if you put it down. The wind making the pages flap is a pain. Losing your page due to the bookmark falling out is something I'd nearly forgotten about. Having twice as much text to search for where you last left off (left side AND right side). etc... Worse, laying in my hammock at night and trying to read while holding a flashlight which puts a bright spot right in the middle of the page was horrible. I finally found that if I took my sheet of paper that I was using as a bookmark and held it over the lens of the flashlight it would diffuse the light well [wish I'd have figured that one out as kid!], but it was nowhere as nice as my Paperwhite!
I think I'll just risk the Kindle next time.
