Actually paper books are an inferior product for many reasons:<p>1) moderately large to large books are uncomfortable to hold after a while.<p>2) Fixed font size.<p>3) Take up physical space (i.e. you can have books and other kind of &quot;publications&quot; like magazines in a Kindle).<p>4) Unsearchable.<p>5) Every reader essentially has to &quot;hack&quot; something as simple as progress saving.<p>&gt;&quot;they require no battery&quot;:
This doesn&#x27;t really make paper books a superior product. The same argument could be said of landline phones but that doesn&#x27;t make them better than cellphones.<p>&gt;&quot;accidental touchscreen events&quot;: 
Not all ereaders are touchscreen based, an in any case it&#x27;s a poor, circumstantial reason.<p>Your other reasons amount to pretty much preference, none of them make paper books categorically superior to ereaders.
