I'm of the opinion that the value of a book lies in its content rather than its form. What matters are the stories and the knowledge one can gain from reading, regardless of the platform or the format. Physical, digital, audio. It's all the same as long as you are actually learning or experiencing something.
IMO, obsessing only over the aesthetics physical books to the point of gatekeeping (in what i've come to describe as "Bookishness fetish") is more about the looks and the percieved status they give than about the actual books andtheir messages.
And I say this as someone who devoured physical books growing up.
