I see no point in holding to the concept of physical boards. They can be used by collector or in some other vintage manner, but nothing more, as far as I can see.
I can only say that the vast majority of chess players would disagree with you. We like moving physical pieces with our hands. We like sitting face-to-face with our opponent.
I mostly read books on a Kindle because it is small and light. I can hold it with one hand when riding the metro and I have to stand. I can have a ton of books with me very conveniently. But I still prefer the act of reading an actual book. Then again, I'm admittendly old-fashioned.
