i used to own only physical books of all kinds - from simple $10 paperbacks to large $80 coffee-table books (Fender, Gibson, Marshall, GrooveTubes). i gave them ALL away to my local library, and now i only own less than 10 physical books - the rest are all electronic.
the only way i'd buy a physical book is if it's a good reference or self-improvement book, one that i'd lend to a friend or family member, or one that's got quizzes in it so that i'd use a pencil or make a copy of the quiz page (like some relationship-fixing books)
the price, however, makes it hard to buy an ebook - they're too expensive considering that they're not readily resellable or lendable. if an ebook costs $9.99 and a physical book costs $10, i don't buy either. if i absolutely need the book then the nod goes to physical - but that's probably because it's the type of book i mentioned above.
