Many compelling reasons to "own" entertainment media remain. First, privacy - the right to enjoy one's content without feeding data suction engines. Second, the ability to enjoy said content offline, when disconnected. For me, that last is especially relevant to reading. I have tried browser-based reading and loathed the experience almost as much as I loathe audiobooks. So, as long as the option remains, I will be sure to retain both music and reading material offline, non-streamed.
