When it comes to book vs ebooks, the thing is completely different: they don't give comparable experiences to the users. The only stimulus they can give in common is the visual one.
A paper book cannot be replaced by an epub file when it comes to the senses of touch, smell and hearing.

Yeah! People won't give up on the satisfying finger-punches that kick up my keys, the soothing
tacka-tacka-tacka-tacka-tack! of my rhythms, the regular slapping of the carriage return, and the smudges of carbon paper on their fingers, either! Computer keyboards will
never replace all that!
(And what about the smell of wite-out?
