It depends, really.

I walk a lot, so I listen to a lot of audio books. However, since a lot of what I "read" is non-fiction, I almost always have a physical copy for notation. I don't like ebooks for notation. Anything I'm going to need to reference, I want in print.

For fiction, I like physical books as well, but I'm fine with the Kindle. Especially for books like "Duma Key" and "Under the Dome" both of which I own in print (and read in print), but also have on my Kindle. I like reading bigger books on my kindle because there isn't size intimidation.

I read graphic novels or comics/manga on my iPad Mini, not exactly an ereader per say, but probably close enough. I also read some PDF books on it, such as Save the Cat. I feel the same way about it as I do the Kindle.
