I always have a paper road atlas with me after my Great GPS Adventure.
No cell service, GPS takes you on an adventure into the middle of nowhere with the last town 2 hours back on a very very rough road and tells you to "go offroad for 4 miles" and cannot identify an alternative route, at dusk - a book atlas can be the difference between having to camp for the night and finding an actual road 2 miles aways that can get you to your planned campground in 30 minutes.
I do have a couple books reviewing campgrounds (not RV Parks but actual campgrounds) and on hiking trails in my clipper - never know when they might come in handy. Will keep a couple RV Park review books in my TV when I start traveling with the FnR. After the above, I believe in having an offline option.
For those saying "no books because I have a kindle", those are still books...
