It's clearly superior to you. But not necessarily for everybody. It is a different product with different aspects, which may or may be be superior to paper books.
As mentioned, you can't resell them. Also, you can't give them away, either. They may be more durable, but only if you work at maintaining their durability. Paper can last for centuries. They require working high-tech equipment to use, paper does not. Clearly a mixed bag.
To me, as to you, I consider them a superior product - for my uses. I can't speak for other people, though...
