2. Use. I simply do not want to collect p-books any more. I might need some paper reference books, paper albums, but not really paper fiction. So here also price is not the main factor.
3. If there's a book I might consider as useful in the paper form and the ebook is more expensive, I'll obviously buy a p-book.

Are you saying that if you were nominally going to get the ebook, but happen to see the paper book is cheaper, and the paper format would suit you, then you'd go for the paper book (option 1) but if you decidedly only wanted the ebook, say for instant access, then you would not consider the price of paper at all (option 3)?
