Physical, otherwise you don’t own it.
You can own ebooks
This is a good point and one of the best parts of physical media. However, Ebook DRM can be circumvented pretty easily with tools like Calibre and many non-arrr sources of ebooks don't use DRM in the first place. That being said, it is safe to assume that anything from the on-device marketplaces will be loaded with DRM (and very, very overpriced).
Is there a way to crack the latest Amazon drm yet?
