Don't get me wrong. There are lots of benefits with E-books given the fact that I also own copies of short stories and training manuals in digital format. E-books are useful if you keep a long-lasting digital archive in your local drive or cloud storage. You can easily send a copy across the globe sans the delivery cost, and you can store copies of hundreds of books in one gadget to make your travel at ease. With E-books you don't kill trees, and publishing one do not need a tedious process like the traditional books, and so on and so forth.

But the beauty of owning a traditional library or archive has no equivalent in terms of cost and simplicity:
→ You can still feel the distinct texture of the paper if you love identifying your book with its texture.
→ You don't have to worry about your book falling hard on the floor. For Kindle/iPad/Galaxy tab, it's a different story.
→ Buying a new book is cheaper than buying a new tablet or E-reader as a replacement if they got damaged by rain or water. A new book is usually more cheaper than a waterproof casing, or a waterproof tablet.
→ You don't need to spend additional energy (battery, plug outlet) to read a traditional book. If there is no electricity (and you're out of battery), just light a candle and it's still okay.
