I do have a stack of library pbooks right now; they're mostly books unavailable in digital but with a couple of exceptions. I suspect it's the need to read some books in paper if I'm to read them at all that keeps me open to the paper option.

I get that. Once you've decided a particular ebook is too expensive for you (or altogether unavailable), you check and see if the the pbook is available for free at the library. That's not comparing the two prices. That's just going a different direction!
