condemns e-books and says that one has to feel and taste the book
in one's hands, and not just absorb information but also capture the writer's feelings and intonations in a way that is impossible with these gadgets

Putin condemned e-books and said you couldn't feel "what the writer feels", unlike reading paper copies.

The main weakness of ebooks is that there is a weaker sense of progression. This does not matter much for fiction, but for a textbook it can feel a little torturous.

Also jumping back is a pain. On kindle especially. I never learned the bookmarks thing. Also when you are half asleep and realized you just went 2 pages ahead without consuming any of it it's like 2 slow pages back. Maybe new ones are faster

On the flip side if you like what you're reading you just tap-tap-tap away and the pages fly by. It's comfy.
