I definitely prefer a 'real' book but I will read an eBook when the paper
version is not available, especially when it's a missing part of a series.
Also, if you're going somewhere you may have to do a lot of waiting, it can be
handy to have a book on your phone to kill time. You Could carry a book with
you if you knew ahead of time you'd be sitting around but you have your phone
with you in any case so I keep a few dozen ebooks on it to choose from in case
I run into that situation.
