Boxed folio sets and books are two entirely separate things. Both are
great when done well, but one does not replace the other. Photo books
sell about 4x as many copies as boxed folio sets, from my research. I
tend to prefer books as folio sets do tend to get scattered over
time. However, folio sets made in small individual printings tend to
have better print quality, though.
And, BTW, if you're going to sell a boxed folio set, you might as
well get a real box made from archival materials than the junk you
buy at the local stationary store. Or make one yourself, custom. That
adds "art value".

I would go for a real book over a virtual book or a boxed set any
time.
Books are so much more convenient (assuming they are the right size -
there's a horrible tendency to make photo books too big).
