I find
this article interesting because I've recently purchased 3 digital cookbooks, (mostly for practicality) but I have to admit that the good old printed cookbooks would be a timeless presence in the kitchen

Physical books offer a tactile and sensual experience, says cookbook editor Rux Martin, who runs her own imprint at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. In fact, Martin says, the print-digital divide has “amped up the artistic quotient” for cookbooks, inspiring publishers to add more color, design and other flourishes that make the print editions even more lush.
“This is now practically the only frontier where books are still books,” she says. “Who would choose functionality over beauty? Digital is strictly functional.”
