My take is: if you won't miss the money, get the e-book; if you'd rather own the book indefinitely rather than license it provisionally, get the p-book. I purchased Idoru because it was essentially the price of a magazine (which I probably wouldn't keep).
I can appreciate why people question the lifespan of their DRM purchases as a matter of principle, but practically, I can't imagine myself getting bent out of shape 3 years from now over an orphaned e-book that I paid less for than a fast food lunch. On the other hand, I couldn't justify spending $20 on something without a physical artifact in return. Totally subjective, not particularly rational, but there you go.
