The reason why I still buy pbooks is bookshops. I love bookshops, and brousing amoungst shelves, finding chance possabilites and interesting sounding/looking books, reading a few pages here and there, that I'd never have thought to search for. I hate online shopping. It's good if you know your store and have a specific product in mind, but for anything else especially serendipitous finds it is horrible. Hence I don't expect to ever stop buying pbooks.
And of course availablity - many older books will never make it into ebook versions.
Reading pbooks - always feels odd after the ebook version. I still prefer the 505 almost a year on it's just more convenient and a nicer reading experience. However I'm not rebuying all the starts of series I own in pbook, and I often enjoy re-reading old favourites. So I do still read pbooks too. Plus of course those impulsive bookshop aquisitions.
