I still buy physical books just not for technical stuff (for learning stacks, languages etc I do it by building and stackoverflow-ing and building my person collection of recipes). Once exception to this is theoretical stuff which I feel I get a lot out of from textbooks (eg the dragon book, Tanenbaum's X, Ben Pierce's books on type theory etc). Too bad text books are expensive as F though!
For non-tech stuff (fiction, leadership etc) I find lying down with a good physical book unbeatable for me.
Logically eReaders are supposed to be superior with not taking and bookmarking and all that but I just have not been able extract the same satisfaction from them sadly.
