Digital texts have several advantages over physical texts, including being portable since the devices used to access digital texts are portable, easy accessibility through internet connectivity, and essentially unlimited shelf life since digital files don't degrade over time. However, digital texts also have some disadvantages such as requiring wifi to connect, risk of losing data if cloud backups fail, limited battery life, and potential for running out of device memory or storage. Overall, digital texts provide significant benefits in terms of accessibility, portability, and longevity, but also come with some technology-dependent downsides around connectivity and local device resources.
