I prefer art books because the printing tends to be a little nicer than digital on-screen reproductions, although Retina is getting closer and is very good.
The big benefit to books is more precise reproduction of colour and contrast, because my computer screen (and rgb colour profiles and jpg compression) will affect that. At least with a book, the artist (or an expert) usually helped ensure the colour and contrast were correct before printing.
Of course, neither screen nor offset printing comes close to seeing the original artwork, so sometimes I wonder if it's really worth keeping the physical book when it's not perfect, anyway.
