It really seems to me it depends on the book and the circumstances. A nice, reasonably sized paperback or hardcover is great for reading; it's less great for carrying around with you or storing. On the other hand, a 1000+ page monster is much easier to read as an e-book. (Though it might look beautiful on your bookshelf.) And the convenience of having 5000+ pages of reading material on my phone is completely unbeatable. The great thing is, there's absolutely no reason not to do both. Usually at any time I'm reading two or three physical books and two or three e-books.
