I agree, and I always buy the physical book.Physical books...nothing can beat their smell! And it's exciting to get an original copy. I bought Firestarter from a thrift store, came home, and found out it was a first publication copy! Also, for digital books, there isn't the excitement of going to the store the day of the release.
But, as I do a lot of work online, at all hours of the day, I find that the only way I can read more than a few pages at the time, is to read the book on my Kindle for iPad. If I read the physical book, I get distracted and I "have to" check mail and websites, to make sure that I don't neglect my job (which is total crap, of course. Nothing online is so urgent that it can't wait for an hour or two)
But, my mother was a librarian, and I literally grew up in the library, so for me, nothing can replace the feel and smell of a real book.
