Mixed, but mostly still paper. Think I have said this in similar threads but I find that ereaders are generally no good for books with lots of images and maps. Such as photography/art books and history books. "Technical" books (programming, etc.) are also a must in paper format. For me at least.

And I "seem" to remember what I read better when it's on paper.

I go through phases where I take an ereader on the bus to/from work because it takes up less space and is lighter (currently in a paper phase).

It was nice to just take an ereader on a recent trip as opposed to the 4-5 books I used to take. Although I promptly bought a paperback at the airport and some used paperbacks during my vacation, lol

When an ereader was really handy was when I broke my wrist several months ago. Was basically limited to using one hand for nearly two months. Reading on paper for extended periods was just too difficult. But once I regained use of my hand I started reading paper books again.

Just can't get over my attachment to paper. For psychological reasons I think and also because I simply like them as objects. Still hung up on the whole tactile thing. But I'm okay with that.
