I will be purchasing both physical books and the PDF versions of the phb, gm guide and the MM. When at the game table, the PDF does me absolutely no good so I need a book if a rule or info needs to be confirmed. When NOT at the game table I am most likely researching at which point the text searching ability that the PDF offers saves me a ton of time ... well worth $10.00.
There is a caveat to my purchasing habits however, in order for me to continually purchase the physical books they MUST contain enough information to become necessary at the game table. IMO, WotC lost quite a bit of revenue from not only the fact that PDFs became available of their products but most of their non-core rule books contained a lot of fluff. If they would have had a lower number of books with larger content within each book, they would have certainly gotten more sales from me. Their high number of books, lower content per book strategy was a sub optimal choice made by people that probably don't game much .. I know I am not the only one that has felt this way and I speak with many other gamers with identical sentiments.
To summarize, if PathFinder can continue to release useful revised rule sets in larger content (200+ pages), you will get sales from me for not only the PDF but the physical books as well.
