Nonsense. Try buying the paperback instead of the ebook and see if your reader still gives those advantages from it.
You might as well claim your reading lamp (or your eyes) is the source of value from the paperback.
We pay a price for a particular version of a book--paperback, hardback, audiobook, ebook, what have you-- because we want the features that version offers. We should consider the value of those feature, not merely compare the price to a different version. Simple as that.
