I wouldn't buy a pbook novel for the most part.
There ARE exceptions, such as special editions I like to buy in a pbook format.

This year though I HAVE spent a fair bit on pbooks as it turned out.
Various Tabletop RPG books. I probably spent about $300 on these so far this year.
I also got a special edition of the hobbit, hardbound with a slipcase and embossed cover etc.. That cost me $100, so I have spent a fair bit on pbooks this year.

For me the future of pbooks are Special editions, Tabletop RPG books and that's about it.
