I'm in the more than half ebooks category. It's probably at least 70% and would be more like 90% if more books were available as ebooks. The only times paper books are necessary for me are on planes during takeoff and landing or outside on sunny days.
Most of my books are in ereader format, because the DRM is the least bothersome. I'll buy MSLit if it's the only format available for something I really want to read. Mobipocket is even more annoying, and also the largest font is still too small on my VGA ppc.
I do think the prices are too high. In most cases I could buy a new hardcover from Amazon for less than the ebook, but it doesn't stop me from buying the ebook. I'm at a stage in life where I'm trying to downsize, so I give away all my paper books after I read them. Since ebooks don't take up any physical space, I can keep them all, although I realize that someday I could lose them all due to format incompatibility.
