I strongly prefer reading ebooks, but I do still read paper-based books -- most of the reasons have already been listed. Some science-fact books rely on charts and graphs, and they usually come across more clearly in hard copy. Also, there are matters of price and availability. I shop at a local used book store for inexpensive books that aren't available as ebooks. And I go to the library when I want to read a recent release that's too expensive (I'm just not going to pay $15 for an ebook, even if the hard cover is $25.)
