I feel I need to clarify my position here - I don't like being bundled into a group you can put a sticker on, not even implicitly.
The reason I have not bought a paper book since I started using e-readers is because I don't feel the need to. As I said, I still buy children picture books because it makes sense to do so.
E-reader covers probably 90% of my reading needs. The hassle of dealing with paper books in the other 10% is something I put up with, but that's about it.
