I do not think there is some 1 dimensional better scale that can be applied to books, so no universal claim can be made that one is better than the other or regarding the size of the difference.
I did read a hardback paper book a few weeks ago and another a few months before that, and I will say that for some books, an e-book is every bit as good as a physical book. I also say that sometimes an e-book is much better, sometimes much worse, and everything in between.
And those differences are not carved in stone, We are nearing the time when e-books can blow coffee table books to smithereens.
