I realize I was an unusual kid, but browsing through the OED while hiding out from bullies in the public library is among my fondest childhood memories, for which the "convenience of the electronic version" would have been no substitute. And when all else fails, you can hit them with it. Twenty times. Try doing that with an iPad.
