I'm with Cinisajoy on this one. I have linear meters of cookbooks, in various shelves all over the house. They are one of the very few kinds of books I actually prefer in paper, though I am no mostly buying them as eBooks for my Fire. But the reality is that if I have it in paper, and it eBook, I'll most likely use the paper version.
Most of these cookbooks have been acquired over many, many years, and some I'll probably never cook out of again. But others, I pull out whenever I need to do a particular recipe, usually one I don't often cook, such as a duck terrine. (For that, I pull out the Bay Wolf cookbook.) There are a few I go to whenever I need an idea for a new dish. I'll usually cook the dish once, following the recipe exactly, and if I like the recipe, it becomes part of my regular repertoire and often gets modified after that first instance. Once it's settled into something I want to keep making, and I've tweaked it to fit my tastes/style, I'll usually add it into my own recipe folder.
