Why are paper books still allowed to be printed?

They do not user configurable display font sizes.
They don't contain Bright lighting for vision impaired folk (I still read by a standard light, but it MUST always be on at any time of day. Ambient light is no longer enough).
They don't read aloud.
They don't contain dictionaries.

All the above require separate versions or accessories, so why is it mandatory for a OSFA device for e-books?
