Most of the books that I use are reference manuals for languages, algorithms, data-structures, etc. It's just more convenient to have the paper book open where I can get to the parts that I need (maybe even highlight something here and there) without having to close what I'm working on to look at an e-book on my pc.
Even if I had a separate device for the e-book, I don't think I'd like them anyway. I'd probably turn the device into some very expensive book-end or something.
