At the moment, the resolution for color is much lower than for black&while (grayscale) on the same display. The color accuracy is also poor. I would think it would be somewhat important to have high-resolution and good color accuracy for a guidebook.

These days folks are pretty likely to have records of purchases so proof of purchase is likely to be easy.
They would have no idea whether you sold the physical copy. Proof of purchase is not proof of ownership.
