At the moment, paper can store more sorts of content reliably
However the statement is quite intolerant in my opinion, there is something you may like to consider. I give you my arm that books that are enjoyed in an eReader most will be different from paper books. Paper and eReader read differently. eReader books are much more prone to a more analytical reading, starting from the fact that a table of contents is highly valued in an ebook and people get angry when there is none. How many of you didn't even give a look to the pbook's index?
