You bring up good points against the physical medium (especially when it comes to note-taking), but I'd respectfully disagree.

Books I've read multiple times, the great ones, nothing beats a well-made physical edition.

The way light pushes off the pages, that smell...the book changes over time as you read it more. It almost takes on a life of its own with yours. And, if you need to be completely offline or Amazon decides to one day Google-drop your entire online library, that book will still be open to you.

Great work deserves to be supported. Buying a physical copy is my small way to show my support.

Not only that, a much read book is like an old friend when you pick it up again. The wrinkled edges, the spine giving away with ease when turning, the small tea spill stain you made on accident.

You can smell another book while reading an ebook, and those are readable offline

You can smell another person while caressing your significant other, but it probably won't be a satisfying experience in the round.

Are there scratch n sniff book smell stickers for ebook readers?
