Absolutely with you on paper books!! The printed page "speaks" to you in a way that words on a screen do not. You are right to want the medium of the book there in your hands. It's in your possession in a tactile way that I think engages your brain, ready reference in your fingers.
I can better remember things that I've read on a page, and my thinking is engaged at a different speed when reading lines on a paper page, than when looking at a screen.
Plus just having the book itself, even on the shelf when not reading it, means the thoughts are not so far away.....there right there to be grabbed.
