I heard that. For me it's the eyes. My books remain boxed up since I moved two years ago - I much prefer electronic media wherein I can comfortably increase the font and do away with bothersome glasses.
But what remains a caution to me is that if I need to recall something from a book, I can immediately picture the correct one in my mind (complete with wear and tear), and in going to that book, I can usually hit what I want from it in a few minutes... To recall something from online is far more troublesome - I think because it lacks input from auxiliary senses, perhaps... I DO miss slogging around in musty old tomes - I really do.
