[B-Greek] Soft ware Books

I happen to like e-books, but the problem there is that you can't get everythink in electronic format.  Also, unless you have a notebook or tablet PC, you can't always take it with you whereas you can usually take a book along for those moments when you have a little time to read.  One really big advantage to e-books is that they are so searcheable.  If you sort-of remember something you read but the exact quotation and location slip your mind, you can still generally find it.  Another big advantage is that if you move, they don't take up any more space than your computer whether you have 1 book or 1,000.  Another thing I like about e-books is that I can attach notes to them with a clear conscience.  I was raised to treat books with care so I resisted marking in them.  When I got into college and was told that I should mark my books I tried it.  I found that some things I thought were important at the time really weren't and  because I had marked in the book it was a mess. 
 If I later find that a note in an e-book isn't as brilliant as I originally thought, I delete it without leaving eraser marks.

About 25 years ago I had a little library of about 250 volumes. And as 
life takes it's twists and turns I sold it. Now I'm thinking about 
trying to rebuild it but I'm wondering if it should be an eLibrary 
(something like BibleWorks or Logos) or if it should be the good old 
book libaray. What is your views or suggestions?
