Need to Explain:
I only buy special paper books. Generally only signed hardbacks. Reading high quality printed books has its pleasures, but anything less than the best typography lowers pleasure to the point that reading on my K3 is preferable. |

Yes, but only if I a) can't get them in eBook or b) for my other half, since he doesn't have an e-reader and prefers paper.

I only buy printed books if I plan to get rid of some, or the book come in ebook format, or it just doesn't play well in ebook format. Price, too.
