For travel, what type of books?

I like holding a printed book, but it just seems that they would take up space that could used for something else. I know it is not much space, as most might only take one or two on a trip. E-books give you the ability to have an entire library at your fingertips. The added benefit of cross platform readers and cloud servers gives one the ability to read the same book with laptop, tablet, or smart phone. The down side that I find to E-books is the crazy number of typographical errors. Even in the classics, there are typos. I guess the electronic nature of things and everyone wanting to crank things out quickly, editing has gone by the wayside. I could overlook it if it were a few misspelled words, but many times it turns out to be a whole wrong word or a word just completely missing. I have yet to find an E-book without errors. I was just wondering what other folks preferred. As much as I like holding the book and turning the pages (and the editing). I will probably just stick with E-books for travel.
