In many cases, the information just is not conducive to electronic format. For example, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is best read by opening a page at random and reading it. I can’t imagine reading that book from front to back. At work, I have a copy of it which I had found in a bargain rack at a bookstore, five dollars for a hardcover.

Easily done with an electronic book.
