I buy fitness books and cookbooks in paper, and have not replaced my trade paperbacks for the most part, nor do I plan to (I have them already so I will not buy them again). But all of my mass-market paperback type of reads are now in e-book, and that is progress imho. I simply do not have space to store as many books as I want to, and while I suppose it would be nice to be rich enough to be able to contemplate the luxury of a book room with the funds to fill it, I am not in that position nor do I know people who are. So I do not think that magazine writer represents the average person here. What I like about my ebooks is I do not have to worry about storing them on a physical shelf, so I can keep all the ones I buy and not worry about selling them back to the used bookstore due to space constraints.
I do have some regular mass market paperbacks I have kept around through the years and most of them are in a pretty sorry condition. If it's fiction and it's available in E, I will buy it in E from now on. If it is not available in E, I will get it from the library. And if it is a cookbook, fitness book or reference book, I will buy in paper.
