Not quite the same thing for me. I like eBooks because they're cheap (the ones I buy anyhow) and plentiful, but finding a specific book in a used book store is just a more tangible (and enjoyable) experience, for me anyhow. Especially when you find an old book that was printed with a letter press. You can almost "feel" the words.
I buy eBooks for my father and lately he's been wanting me to find the the "real" books for him. I'm the only one in my family who really likes eBooks, but I've found some printed books recently and I'm beginning to realize how much I enjoyed them. I'm not going away from eBooks, but their may be more printed books in the mix soon.
