For non-fiction, I can't get most of what I want in digital format, so I still buy them as p-books. It hasn't really changed my habits.
Added: Whenever I open a p-book now, I notice the small type - and that can be enough to put me off reading it. Not that I need special large type, but a bit larger than print books usualy are, just seem so much more comfortable. Combine that with a light, easy to hold device compared to a heavy book!

I never thought of the language aspect of things. I wonder how many different languages ebooks are translated into.
