The part it made worse is having to purchase things twice. Either physical book or as part of the VTT. I do only book and copy everything in. Worth it for me but you can lose your digital everything
I prefer to have a printed copy over a digital one for the simple reason of bookmarks. If a game is rule-heavy, I will have multiple bookmarks in parts I need to reference often. And having the bookmarks visible to me in the book does make it easier to remember which one is which section.
I love having physical books for most things. It’s just the little things like exact spell wordings around needing to see a target or components. Same with exact languages of class features for edge cases.
I always use my books for prep and when I’m running my character. When DMing it’s nice to have a quick reference
