Books are better in book form for one simple reason: Spatiality and tactility. Skimming, skipping pages, marking and jumping between different parts of the book. These actions are all extremely easy, intuitive and convenient with a paper book. There's no replacement for digital books. Using a mouse means you're no longer interacting directly with the medium and even if you do use a touchscreen, digital books aren't designed to be used or interacted with in any sane way.
