50/50 isn't too bad. And the books that are only available in p-book format are older titles.
Thanks for posting your results. This is what I was asking for when I started this thread.

Although, on reflection, I suppose these results don't mean much, given that we are a self-selecting group. It's exactly because a relatively high proportion of our favourite titles are available that we own a reader.

Also, I agree with Patricia. It isn't an all-or-nothing issue. Although I'm an avid Kindle user now, I still greatly prefer unwinding with a "real" book when I've got time to relax. After all, you might like fine dining in a gourmet restaurant with white table linen and crystal glassware. But that doesn't mean you don't also grab a quick sandwich on the go.
