EReader
>Can read in the dark
>Huge library
>Can download huge libraries of shit for free

Books
>Actually holding it tangibly in your hands
>Doesn't need to charge
>Can just check it out at the library
>Don't have to fiddle with scrolling or accidentally pressing a button or resizing the font
>Still have access to it in the dystopian world of tomorrow where our Korean overlords have summoned the demon lord Baal to curse America so that only primitive technologies work, and we become medieval serfs and sex slaves to our mutant overlords who don't understand that our written language predates the electric tablets, so we can snuggle information and culture through the written word in books.
