Books are optional and slower than digital. Be it local searchable pdfs or online srds. Paizo seems to have forgotten that they got by for a decade+ on people WANTING to support them. The very rules that let them continue 3.5 are the same rules keeping THEM from shutting down people hosting all their rules and mechanics.
Agree to disagree on that. A usb stick or sd card and you've duplicated your digital media and a jerk with cheeto fingers won't diminish your copy. Everyone at the table can have their own copy, etc.
yeah, but the solid state ICs degrades over time, books can deteriorate took, but much more slowly, especially if they're carefully preserved, plus a book isn't destroyed if something heavy is dropped on it =P

yeah, but books are more stable than digital files in many ways...more easily archiveable with less maintenance...

btw, not saying you couldn't scan it as a backup. that's a good idea as well, as many backups as possible are always good.
