The answer, for me personally, is that I have several "lifetimes' worth" of eBooks that I'd like to read, but I still buy paper books for the things which aren't available (generally non-fiction relating to my "love" - the Latin and Greek classics).
That's largely my case as well. I have more ebooks in various formats (about 3,500) that I want to read than I have time for, and those are all from public domain and other freely distributable sources.

I'm perfectly happy to buy paper volumes. For me, eBooks are an additional format, not a replacement for paper.

For folks whose interest is current commercial titles, the equation changes.
