Could not we think about it this way:
If the technology of paper books and ebooks would have been developed at the same time, which one would you choose?
So - I mean - taking away all the bias associated with paper books. All the walls in our heads.
What would you loose without paperbooks, what do you gain by ebooks?
The argument can go on forever, but if you really look at it ebooks win hands down.
And for God's sake, will we ever start to care about the environment? How much paper we produce, how many books are printed all over the world? Is it only our comfort that matters?
Which is more important, what you are reading, or what is it printed on? The argument is not only about differences in technology, but that the thinking of many of us is too materialistic, and we can't believe that something that is not tangible, still has value IMHO.
