I buy pbooks more than ebooks, because the ebooks I have are mostly public domain. I still buy pbooks, even if available as ebooks, if I suspect they are ones I'd like to keep in my library/on my bookshelves permanently. If I particularly love a public domain ebook, I am likely to buy a nice version in pbook form. I enjoy bookstores, and book-buying: it is one of my few, calming pleasures. Oh, and also cookbooks and photography books (monographs)...they're either practically or aesthetically preferable to me in pbook form.
Cheers,
Marc
