I chose 'Print Book' or 'Printed Book' but I actually tend to refer to them as 'paperback edition' (meaning mass market paperback size), 'trade paperback', or 'hardcover'.
I keep a listing of all the books I own in Word, organized by authors. It includes the book title, series info, publishing date, and formats. When I started I had mostly paperbacks, so if nothing is notated for format I only own the paperback. Otherwise I notate "have trade paperback edition" or "have hardcover edition" or "have digital edition" or "have hardcover & digital editions" (or whatever the combination is). I've continued labeling the same way even though I went 99% digital several years ago.
But even though I have a bunch of formats (LIT, PDF, MOBI, PMLZ, ePub, etc) they are all labeled as 'digital book' since I've used Calibre to convert them all to ePub. I don't tend to differentiate between digital formats unless the discussion calls for it. I also use 'eBook' as often as 'digital book' when talking about them (either in person or online).
