Yeah, at this point my main impetus for getting an ereader is AW ebooks.
I think with most readily available books, I'd still get the paper version. But then I'm saying this having never used an ereader...
Although... Take my music collection for an example of the way my mind works. I want to have a big collection of CDs. I also want to have an mp3 player so I can listen to vast quantities of music on the go. But I don't use iTunes, because I want the physical CD and because I see no point in buying a single song when pretty much whenever I've bought a CD by a band whom I've only heard the one song from - every time it seems I've fallen in love with some of the other songs, moreso than the one that prompted me to buy the CD.
Can we extrapolate this to ebooks vs. print books? Not sure... But I do love to ramble!
