Regarding information, I rely more on notes I make during reading. So, regular book or e-book does not matter much (although it is easier to make notes from e-books because you can use copy/paste).
However, the more complicated the ideas, the less I am able to understand by reading - better & more fun to talk with friends over the white board (all of us have one in our homes & I think it is one of my best ``investments'').
Even though I do not own many, I do adore books. Not so much for the information, but for the sensory experience. Elegant hardbound books are a treat to read. I love the way they are sturdily stiched, the feel of the thick acid-free paper, the way the pages smell, the beautiful & accurate typesetting.

Quite an immersive experience!
