Those same paper books are also unreadable in the dark, unlike charged e-readers, and they're not waterproof, unlike modern e-readers.
These endless, and endlessly unfunny, memes are sad reflections of the desperate need to feel superior shared by many who read only paper books.
Despite being active on many social media forums in reading-related contexts, I've yet to come aross any reader of ebooks (or audiobooks) peddling the "my preferred medium is best" line. That exact argument is VERY common from those who read only paper books though. The fact that someone posts this kind of defensive "paper is best" bakvaas in a forum explicitly focused on other reading media nicely illustrates the point. There is no "best" - reading matters, not the medium.
