I no longer buy either craft or cookbooks, but that is because I have tons of both. Today, I only acquire digital ones, mostly magazines. One REQUIREMENT of a digital copy is the ability to print the recipe/project. It's too hard for complicated stuff to be shuffling from one page to another on my Nook HD while cooking or working the project IMHO. Once I've made the recipe and made notes, it goes into my keeper cookbook (it's like a scrapbook of recipes), so I don't have to remember what darn book I got that fabulous dessert from. Of course, if I can't download the magazine to my printer, I can't print that recipe/project. That is why I don't buy them from B&N any longer. For awhile, Amazon wasn't letting you download magazines to printers, but after lots of complaints, they fixed that and once again, I can print from my magazines.

Anyway, if I was starting again, I'd still buy paper cookbooks for my main cookbooks. But I refuse to buy glamorized cookbooks. What a waste of space. My experience with these types of cookbooks is yeah, sure, they look pretty, but the the recipes tend to have more errors. In addition, ebook cookbooks are easy to pass by when you are looking for something interesting to cook - you forget that you have it unless you have it always loaded (which isn't practical for me - it slowed my Kindle WAY WAY down to have so many ebooks on there.
