They're useful in some ways, but I can't be bothered to read on a screen and nothing comes close to the tactile experience of going through a book. I also buy my TTRPG books as beautiful objects in addition to the content and game they offer; not unlike someone would by some artbook.When it comes to the experience of playing, I own a few PDF: physical book hard to find or just doesn't exist, only interested in a segment of the book and don't want to pay for the rest, free material, etc. I do like having monster books in PDF because I use my laptop when I DM.And that brings us to devices. I'm currently going through my first campaign where my players have devices at the table (for D&D Beyond) and I'm not really liking it. There's something really sad about seeing their eyes riveted on their tablets looking for answers when I normally have eye contact with them. Also, every manipulation they do on the table takes all their focus to do and takes longer than scribbling a note. I never allowed devices at the table before, and probably won't after this. I do use my laptop for both music and my notes, and I like to snip and paste the monsters stat block from PDFs to my notes. But that's about it.</blockquote>
