Bold = paper

1. Read a book/long article
2. Receive bills/receipts
3. Pay bills
4. Keep to-do lists/notes
5. Maintain a calendar/diary - actually I use both, for different types of calendars.
6. Send copies of important documents
7. File taxes
8. Communicate with family and friends

Reading light fiction electronically is no problem - it's linear in structure and doesn't demand cross-referencing. When it comes to scientific/medical information, textbooks, cookbooks, basically anything with actual information rather than a story, paper is by far my preference. And some fiction - the type that demands thought and sometimes a look back at earlier pages, is also best on paper. I use electronic means for everyday tasks and communication, but I think permanent storage or organization of information should be on paper.
