It's nice to be able to adjust the font and size of the text, so ebooks for preference but hardcopy for images.

At this point, pBooks would require one of those magnification thingamajigs so it's ebooks for me. But I've always got an audiobook going as well because I'm so lazy that I like listening to books when I'm doing chores and exercising.

I tend to favor physical books for the reading experience, but ebooks are much more convenient for travel and storage.

Ebooks are very convenient. Portable and all the features that comes with it.

I prefer different format in different circumstances. Electronic audiobooks when I am walking. Ebooks when I am on the train. Books when I can sit down and relax.

Ebooks, practically always ebooks. There's some publishers/authors who, for some reason, refuse to have digital editions to "not take away" from the "work of art" that is their prose. I have a book scanner, so I digitize them and share them out of spite.
We're in the paperless age. Embrace PoD, embrace ebooks.

I do have some physical books, frequently art books or special editions, like an 80 year old illustrated Don Quixote, but those are more for display.
