In principle, e-reader only.
In practice, I still have a huge pile of unread paper books at home, so part of my this year's reading challenge is "one paper book a month" (out of the 10-15 books I read every month). It's something I have to force myself to do, as I really find paper books uncomfortable.
I can deal with hardbacks since I read when sitting, knees up, so they're propped on my knees, and unlike paperbacks, they stay open more easily and tend to have reasonable-sized print and enough white space, but paperbacks are a real pain. (I hated them also before the ebook era but it's not like there was always a choice.)
I do still buy the occasional hardcover if it looks really nice (cover art that I like, something "extra" in the texture of the cover, coloured edges) and is a book I'll want for my shelves, but mostly that's as a collectible and it's a rare thing, maybe 5+ books a year (out of the 120-140 that I read) and since for some of them, I buy both the hardcover and the ebook, the hardcover will sit unread.
