All technology has done for me is allowed me to adapt my portfolio to more platforms, i.e. web, iPad, etc. I used to have 12 printed portfolios, now I use less than half that. A magazine hasn’t called in a “book” in over three years now, but agencies sometimes still want them. And my agent, Big Leo, takes them to portfolio meetings where having a tangible thing to touch still has value. And to be honest, printed portfolios are really nice when done well.

I have a book as well. My rep carries my work on an iPad, but I love to have what I call the analog version of my work with me. When I show it to potential clients, they all love looking at my printed work. They really get into turning the pages, and engaging with the prints.

It is nice to have a large variety of images on hand to show in addition to a book, but not replaces, as stated above, a well edited and printed book with LARGE prints.
I recently wrote about the pros and cons of both iPad portfolios and print portfolios.
