This applies more to journals. How about, journals we have electronic access to vs. the journals we have in paper on our shelves that your professor insists you use because s/he doesn't understand that the electronic versions accessed through our databases are the SAME DAMN THING as the ones on our shelves?
I believe that a book is a book regardless of what format it comes in. If I have to distinguish, I will say it comes in a paper copy.

When speaking with patrons and colleagues about books, librarians should distinguish between print books and electronic books by using the shortened phrases: p-books and e-books. P-books may also be referred to as: old-fashioned booksreal booksprinted e-booksoff-line resourcesthose things they sell in bookstores
"Books, P-"
