The article presents the author's opinions regarding the benefits of traditional print books instead of e-books in library collection development. Topics addressed include criticism of "e-first" policies where libraries purchase e-books rather than print whenever possible, commentary on uniquely formatted books that can only be read in print form, and issues of attention while reading on electronic screens.
