Generally. It's so easy to get overloading on the phones and laptops these days that it makes it much easier for me to stay focused on the task at hand when the book is physical. Other reasons I enjoy having physical books is I love sharing them with friends, they make my bookcases look nice, they're much more prescient than e-books, carrying them in a backpack with a computer and notebooks can be a small but nice addition to the moderate exercise that is walking, they don't die on me, paper doesn't bother me like backlit screens especially at night, and finally I don't particularly mind if I spill or damage one (I can bring them poolside, or to the beach, etc). Obviously to each his own but I can only read one book at a time and I usually have a backpack or big coat pocket so carrying them doesn't bother me.
