Paper books are so powerful to me, I need them around.

I love pbooks still - for some things they still can't be bettered. As for 2nd hand books... it depends on how well the previous owner treated them. I rather dislike finding bits of food, squashed insects or worse in my books...
For convenience for reading on my commute, for taking shedloads of books wherever, and for replacing mmpbs which fall apart as soon as you look at them, the reader wins
