Ebooks that live in my phone came in very handy last year when I spent 3 weeks in hospital with broken leg that had to be kept non-weight bearing. I averaged about 4 books/day, and carrying paper books would have been a severe strain on my friends.

In the long run though, paper is better for your eyesight. And your sleep patterns.

I do a lot of audiobooks. That way I can read while walking my dog or splitting wood etc.

I used ebooks for a long time, until I realized that (theoretically at least) a book could be sucked back by Amazon or whomever. WRT music, I had that happen to a Peel sessions version of a song I love. Thanks, iTunes. Now I mistrust electronic & mostly borrow or buy hard copies.

I love paper books. But my home is small and I no longer have space to expand my library.

Gen X. I love both. Ebooks to keep my preciouses safe from my kid who likes to stim by shredding paper, but paper because I cannot pass a library sale without stopping, and ease of loaning my favorites.

I prefer the paper books mostly because of the feel and the smell of them. But most of what I buy are ebooks due to space, I don't have to clean around them, and most of all because it's much easier to take them with me to read on the go (using my smartphone).
