This is one my sister used to ask me a lot an I never had an answer until now:

Would you rather-
Have only books for the rest of your life?
Or have your iPad/tablet/or electronic device for the rest of your life?

I chose the second one because, I know that the physical, real version of books is much better than ebooks (in my opinion), because, I just like it. But if you had and electronic device, you could download a book app and buy the books on there, and you can still play games and surf the internet on it. So you have a wider variety with an electronic device.
