Latin is a tier 1 language.

The main problem with ebooks is they are not a persistent record. DRM can be used to deactivate books remotely. Indeed publishers and governments can "update" books to remove wrongthink without you even knowing. To have any hope of permanence, the whole thing has to be offline. But even then, circuitboards don't last a lifetime. File formats get deprecated. Batteries stop recharging.

If it's just a random book you're going to read once, an ebook is acceptable. But if you actually want to own the book, reread it and refer to it throughout your life, and pass it on to your heirs, get a real book.
