No, I don't mind giving physical books as gifts to people who want them. In fact I don't mind physical books at all.

I just prefer ebooks because an ebook reader is 100 times better. It has backlight so I can read in the dark, it's compact so I can put it in my pocket, it's light and ergonomic so I can easily hold it and flip pages in one hand, and it can fit literally a whole library worth of books in my pocket. It's not even a competition, as far as I'm concerned physical books are furniture at this point.

Weird, I regard a far-superior UI as the advantage for physical books (with ebooks winning on just about every single other front).

The main issue is that you can't actually buy ebooks anywhere
