The main thing I miss with the physical books, as opposed to e-books, is the ease of giving them as presents. Right now, when I want to give a book I just buy a physical copy; but it's been a long time since I bought one for personal consumption. The second way physical books are still superior is that the non-text-based ones (i.e. anything with plenty of illustrations, especially in colour) still look much better than their electronic counterparts (and with that type of books, the appearance matters at least as much as the content).
