At least, you can extend the shelf life of the paperback, and this is in your hands. With digital coffees, you have lost that ability to extend the shelf life of that copy.
Libraries pay 3 times more for hardbound copies because of both paper quality and the hard bound. This is for the shelf life again. When publishers don't sell library copies(hardbound copies), libraries send paper copies for custom binding.
