Remember in Star Trek: The Next Generation how everybody shared information on things that looked like iPads? And yet Captain Piccard kept a rather large book in his cabin.

The first computer filled an entire room. Now they fit in your hand. Or compare the Ford Model T with a Ford Mustang. But ever since Gutenberg invented moveable type and started printing, the book has stayed the same. A little bigger, a little smaller, but the same basic structure for over 500 years. Always portable, always ready to read, and easy to hold.

Some things you just can't improve on.
