eBooks have to be downloaded from a cloud system based in Internet services (MZN, Kobo, other e-bookshops, libraries, etc.), or sideloaded via USB to be read in an eReader, which, in turn, needs a computer or another device. All these things are common in our developed world today. This might change in a future, near or not. On the other hand, physical books just remain on the shelves waiting to be picked, and that's all.

I still keep my paper-library, although the chore of maintaining it (dust! dust! dust everywhere!) was my main reason to migrate to e-readers.
