Oh yea?

wait till your ereader crokes w all yer books, and they are gone.
Or you lose that thumb drive, misplace the chip
Or your hard drive goes south with all your eBooks
CDs get scratched or katsup eats through the aluminum

problem with ebook storage is the device failing, getting lost, 
misplaced, or taken.

or someone formats it

Average lifespan of home electronic storage media is 3 to 5 years.
All hard drives fail.  Formats change.

Good old books on the shelf stay safe.
