I suppose its each one’s comfort zone. But personally, I find much greater joy and connection through the paperbacks. Soft copies somehow do not give that feel, as if something is missing. Besides, paperback involves not only the eyes but the hands that hold the book, you could keep the book to your chest and feel its power flow through and, when they occupy physical space they radiate and release the energy contained in them. I connect much better with paperbacks. Somehow the touch of matter condenses and crystallizes the Force behind the words.
