Home printer inks and toners are often short tem pigments with readability life measured in years. Inks used in printed books have readability life measured in decades and centuries.

It makes sense to build a library of critical knowledge in physical book form.

For emergency grab-and-go back-up, a library on Kindle or the like makes for good easily portable reference material.

Agreed.

Books are also far more compact than the equivalent home printed material.

But also electronic forms are great as you can use the search facility to find what you want in the document quickly and easily, and have 100's of books on a single device.
