The appeal of holy texts to me is more artistic rather than spiritual or even historic. Also, I love collecting all texts (a few rather old leather-bound bibles, late 1800 to early 1900, are some of my most prized possessions).

There's something precious lost when the only copy that remains of a volume is digital. Sure, you have the content, but the weight, the smell, the texture of the paper etc... all that would have been gone forever.
