>paper vs. electronic storage
if stored in a proper environment, paper will easily last multiple lifetimes. have fun trying to transfer bookmarks and the like whenever you want to upgrade your home pc, phone, or ereader.

>durability of the information
when you own a paper book, you indeed actually own it. when you pay for an ebook, you do not own the bits of information. have fun trying to transfer that to different devices, changing distribution companies, etc. oh yeah, also have fun when the content owner decides that they don't want you reading the book anymore.

>space taken up by books
a library lets you read books legally for free as long as you return it on or before the due date. it is superior to any other model.

>text options
all of the various text options you have shown are utter shit. i have never had an issue with reading any real book i have purchased regarding the font type and size used.

>environment
trees can be regrown. the materials used to build ebook readers are significantly more harmful to the environment and are available at an extremely limited supply.
