I've only used paper textbooks, but I prefer these so I can be away from a computer/internet while studying.
Should be noted, I wasn't in a year that had laptops at school.( One year above the first year who got the really, really crappy original ones). I didn't own a laptop until well into my first year at uni when I save up for it. I find them difficult to study from, hence I still write my lecture notes by hand and use paper textbooks.
I'm completely digital for everything else though. Even at work I'm completely paperless and it's amazing
IMO, physical are better for units like accounting where you generally have a large quantity of questions tonne done at home and in class for the book. It's just easier to flick back and forth.
If you've got a unit which barely uses the book, then digital might be better. Personally the ones I've seen are these massive files that lag, so they aren't ideal for moving back and forth in a hurry. If your just reading through a chapter, they're probably okay.
In terms of wether you want to go digital or not, it's hard to say. They're definitely cheaper and it you like studying from a computer, they're useful. You could try a mix of digital and paper in your first semester to see what you like.
