I stopped buying books probably back around 2000 simply because I had no more room. I pretty much stopped reading pbks around 2003 because it just became to difficult to see the small print, so I switched to reading fan fiction on my pc. I haven't read or purchased a paperback book since I got my first ereader back in 2010.
When I moved in 2008 I dumped most of my pbks and just kept a small collection of rereads that I love. I probably have less then 100 now that all fit in my bookcase, but I haven't read them in years simply because they are paper.
I don't intend to ever buy another pbk, and I certainly won't do it just for the sake of buying one especially if I'm never going to read it.
For me what is important is that I have a comfortable reading experience, not getting fixated on an old mode of reading that no longer appeals to me in any way whatsoever.
