You can say it's more valuable, but not to me. I get almost zero enjoyment from reading digitally. I don't know why but paper books feel better. I don't like the interface on my kindle for actually reading. As a device it's good but as a book, it just sucks. Also, I'm usually only reading one or two books at a time, so I don't need an entire library with me. I do use the kindle for technical books, because those are boring to ready anyway.
