Could you elaborate on this declaration a little? The main advantage of books over scrolls that I know of are physical. It's easier to flip a book open to a page than it is to roll a scroll over to the right position. A book allows for more varied reading positions than a scroll. A book can be much longer than a scroll and still be comfortably read.

None of these things would seem to apply to ebooks.
