“I gave my son this Bible for two reasons. First, I wanted him to take a physical Bible to college. Second, I wanted him to experience, through all the visual clues, a fully used Bible—a sort of generational witness to the importance of keeping the faith.” - TGC

I have many books from the 1800s and early 1900s, and several have notes from different owners, some famous such as G. Campbell Morgan. Digital will never replace that. My main study Bible is one I have had had for almost 50 years. The handwritten notes are priceless.

....to keep physical Bibles around is the habit many seem to have of tinkering around with the text of various books. If you've got a copy on the shelf, they can't do that to you, and it provides an indisputable record of what the book actually said when it was published. In an era where the TNIV/NIV2010 messes with the gender of various pronouns and such in the Scriptures, this is a record I want to keep.
