I don't think they're better, I just prefer them. Dude if you prefer e-readers then use e-readers. Granted, some faggots are really jerkish about "muh physical copy" but there's nothing wrong with either.

Books activate the 5 senses.

>You can touch a book, it has multiple textures and pleasurable tactile feedback
>You can smell a book, its smell changes with age and where you store the book
>You can hear a book, the crisp crinkle of a turning page, the corner flicking off your finger
>You can see a book, it's a 3D object you can manipulate in a million minuscule ways
>You can taste a book

e-books activate 2 senses extremely poorly

>You can hold an e-book in your hands, but it has none of the pleasurable feedback of a real book
>You can look at an e-book, but it's a flat 2D object that is extremely limited in its manipulation

This. The more connections made in the mind the harder that thing is to forget. Tactile senses, the sound of the pages turning, the smell of the book cement the content of the book into your mind better simply because there are more memories connected to the event of reading the book. Sounds faggy but it's true.

I use and appreciate both.

For convenience and sheer volume of literature, obviously an e-reader wins hand down. I have a kindle I have used almost daily for about 3 years now which makes travelling light considerably easier. It also has more books on it than I would be able to afford if I were to buy only physical copies.

That being said, I find it much more enjoyable to read a physical book, and will usually choose a hard copy over a digital copy if I am reading at home for example.
