Ebook all the way with only a few exceptions.

I think I've read maybe 5 physical books since December 2010 (when I got my first Kindle). Of those, 3 were poetry, one is the RSC First Folio (not the whole thing yet, just picking that thing up counts as exercise and I just dive into the Bard when the mood strikes) and the last is the paperback copy of Wister's The Virginian that I keep on my nightstand.

I don't suppose I've read all of that paperback either, though I've read the entire thing in ebook format. It's one of my favorite books and I like to occasionally pick it up and thumb through it. Never had a book that made me want to do that before, just that one.
