Most of the books can be found online in the form of ebooks almost immediately after their release. Many other e-books do not even have a paper version. You can basically say that you will be able to search and find an e-book online in a decent amount of time. While you are looking for a book in a bookstore or library, you have a restricted choice which is not the case when you look online.
Though eBooks have many advantages over paper books, reading a paper book is still favored by some people as they can't stare at the screen for a longer period of time. Especially for those that work at a computer this factor can play a big role in their decision to choose a paper book over an e-book.
Paper books, on the other hand, will always look and feel more beautiful than e-books, and in the modest opinion highly-illustrated books do not translate well into e-format. Also, there is something very amazing about stroking your hoof over a nice looking cover when you close your book and put it away for the night. Old paper has a smell which makes you go weak at the knees, and you can use your collection of paper books to decorate a room or to insulate your walls. You can't do that with e-books.
Both e-books and paper books comes with their Pros and Cons, so I will be difficult to draw a line and state which is the best. In coming times we will get to know are paper books really replaced by e-books.
