IMHO, pbooks are better than ebooks for two reasons:
# 1 when you buy a pbook you
own it.
# 2 you can buy a pbook without giving away your personal info
Will I ever be able to buy an ebook anonymously in a store paying with cash?
OTOH, ebooks are better because:
# 1 Mice don't chew Kindles and Kobos
# 2 When your wife hits you with a dictionary, it's less hurting
# 3 When you fall asleep reading the Brothers Karamazov it doesn't break your nose falling onto your face
# 4 You don't have to spend a lot of time on the phone trying to get back the one you lent to your neighbor
# 5 Your daughter doesn't use it as a stool to grab biscuits from the kitchen counter
# 6 You can safely read porn in public
# 7 You won't find food stains every other page if you read the book after your son did
# 8 You won't find other kind of stains if said book was the porn of # 6
# 9 Your wife won't strip the last pages of your favorite mystery novel to straighten a table
# 10 You don't need to go out to the recycle bin to dispose of them
