It works both ways for me. I absolutely 100% prefer to read on my reader in almost every circumstance. That means that there's a small backlog of books that I really wanted to read over the last couple of years that I haven't started because I bought them but couldn't face paper.
Then they came out in ebook format finally. In a few cases, I've bought them again in ebook, because otherwise I don't know if I'll ever actually read them. And if I like them well enough, I can always find a new home for the paper copies.
I've also done the opposite a few times - bought a book in ebook format and then had to buy a second in hardcopy for the express purpose of loaning it out to people. It's really rare, but it happens.
And then finally, there's the tried and true favorites, books I loved. Those I try to slip in to my ebook collection whenever I can. And even on books I didn't love but enjoyed well enough that there's a good chance I'll reread it - If I can get a reasonably priced ebook copy, I'll grab it. Reasonably priced for those tends to be below the 5 dollar mark with discounts.
Ideally I'd love all my books in ebook format, but the combination of budget and availability makes that still years away!
