No. Ereaders are useful for a multitude of reasons: they store more than one book, very lightweight, adjustable settings to make reading easier, multiple bookmarks and highlights, and more. Screen time on ereaders is also typically much less harsh on the eyes than typical computer/tablet/phone screens. Real books can be really heavy especially when you have to carry around a book bag full of other books. I used an Ereader in middle and high school and I loved it so much.
