Rather than tearing apart a list that seems silly to me, I'm going to try to come up with a list of 10 reasons why pbooks are better:

1. Print books can be cheaper. Thrift stores, library sales, used book stores, remainders, curbside discards are all great ways to obtain cheap reads.

2. Print books are sharable. Family, friends, and colleagues can easily lend a book to you or borrow a book from you.

3. Print books are universally compatible. All you need is a functional set of peepers and an understanding of the language the book is written in. No frets about compatible file formats or DRM schemes.

4. Print books are more flexible and reliable. Anything that can be represented visually and that is static can be reproduced reliably in print. No frets about your reader software mangling it due to compatability or screen size/aspect ratio.

5. Print books don't become obsolete or break down. You can stick a book in a box and pick it up 50 years later and it will be in almost the same condition. In theory, ebooks can last longer but only if you do regular backups and have a way to deal with shifting formats (easy for open standards, hard for closed standards or DRMed books).

6. Print books strike up more conversations about books with strangers. Some like this, some don't. For those who do, it is virtually always easier to identify print books from the covers and page headers than it is from the limited information on an ereader's screen. When strangers do strike up conversations with people using ereaders, it tends to be about the ereader itself.

7. ... now I'm stumped ...

Okay, so I couldn't come up with ten. On the other hand, I think that these are better reasons than the one in the article. It should also be noted that ebooks have their own advantages and the choice between ebook and pbook will depend upon what an individual is looking for. The choice is by no means universal and, as a few people have noted, a given person may be comfortable with both.
