The only paperbacks I buy are immediately OCR'd and converted to epub or mobi so that I CAN read them (vision damage). Otherwise, the only deadtree books I buy would be cookbooks and craft books, but I already have more than I need of those.
I supply a loaded Kindle to some elderly folks and weight and grasp is an issue for some of them. Reading any of the Song of Ice and Fire books is painful if you have arthritis, but an ereader, even one with buttons, is much easier.
