I use my ebook reader for novels almost exclusively. Thing is though, I am a nut for typography, which ebooks are not especially good at yet. In many types of lighting, I get annoyed and distracted when my ebook's text gets fuzzy around the edges or pixelated.
Further, although paper books have some serious disadvantages, the interface of my ebooks are just too slow to handle my preferred method of browsing, which is to flip through pages pretty quickly (several page flips per second).
However, my apartment is just too small for all the books I want to read. I have a small collection of books, but it's nice knowing I don't need to buy storage space somewhere in order to keep them (and probably let them get moldy in Taiwan humidity).
Long story short: Paper for tactile feedback, quick interfacing, crisp typography. If those things aren't critical, it's ebook for me.
