You bring up good points against the physical medium (especially when it comes to note-taking), but I'd respectfully disagree.
Books I've read multiple times, the great ones, nothing beats a well-made physical edition.
The way light pushes off the pages, that smell...the book changes over time as you read it more. It almost takes on a life of its own with yours.
And, if you need to be completely offline or Amazon decides to one day Google-drop your entire online library, that book will still be open to you.
Great work deserves to be supported. Buying a physical copy is my small way to show my support.
