I never stopped reading pbooks. I just shifted some of my pbook reading to the ebook version. What I'm finding, over time, is that my pbook reading tends to be non-fiction, and my ebook reading, fiction. Not entirely, though - the two ebooks I'm reading now on my iPhone Kindle app are both non-fiction, albeit somewhat lightweight - one is This Book is Overdue, about being a librarian, and the other is The Cello Suites, about the author's encounter with Bach & Pablo Casals. (What's cool about this is that I can listen to the suites while reading the book, anywhere I am! The book is organized to parallel the movements of each suite.)

One book I am reading in paper because it's not available in digits is The Year's Work in Lebowski Studies. I have that at work & sneak in a few pages now & then. It's a very awkward book to hold, and would work much better on my ereader.

These days I spend most of my reading time on my Sony 300/505 with Instapaper articles. But my bedtime book is a diary written by a Jew in Nazi Germany (I Shall Bear Witness, by Victor Klemperer), and my dining room table book is a small book on economics by Jane Jacobs.

I think what's happened to me is that my serious reading is still in paper, but my entertainment, whether fiction or non-fiction, is digital whenever available. I don't think that this is because the serious stuff isn't available electronically. I think it has something to do with the physicality of pbooks, but I really haven't figured out why that should be.

I read a lot of magazines, in paper, but when I get my iPad I expect to migrate all my subscriptions except the food magazines to digital.

The bottom line for me is that paper and digital are not an either/or. They are a both/and.
