Books are still better, IMO. I can lend one to a friend. They don't need a $300 compatible reader. I can lend it to as many friends as I want. I can leave it on a park bench and share it with a complete stranger. I own the copy. I can sell it. Burn it. Press leaves in it. I can scribble in the margins. Fold the corners. Donate it to a library. I can have two pages open at once. I can flip to indexes, important tables, and chapters without fiddling with buttons and menus. I don't have to recharge my book or replace batteries. If I drop it or get it wet, it's probably going to be fine. I know that in 50 years I'll be able to read the thing. I've come to be of the opinion that unless I own a physical product, I don't own anything. Digital goods are meaningless and ephemeral. They come with digital locks and stupid restrictions that I don't really care to bother with. I don't want to pay a subscription or find some hack to work-around their limitations. Books are cheap and work just fine. And I get to own them.
