Yes, in many ways they do. For me overseas shipping costs are a major issue for pbooks, and it takes a long time for them to get to me. Also nobody I know here reads English books, so not being able to hand my books to someone else is not a problem. For me there is no downside to using ebooks, except for large format books with high quality print and pictures.
For those who live in the US things are very different and an ebook can be considered to have less utility than a pbook for many. Still they are so convenient. Anyway, it all depends on your personal situation.
