Cost is not an argument; physical books - especially if you buy second hand ones - are dirt cheap, if not free if you know where to look; considerably cheaper than commercial ebooks - ebooks versions of recently published work are often just as expensive as their dead trees counterparts (ok, there are free ebooks out there and I have a bunch of them - especially old classics); physical books do indeed take up space and are heavy (something I know as a book worm who moves often) - but it is worth it; there is a whole world of written texts that google or their ilk doesn't know about.
