then why do they come in volumes smart guy?

They're not. They rely on visuals and music to enhance the story and the reader can interact with and change the story.

That's not to say they're inferior to books, although I wish the medium would explore something besides the harem and fantasy genres

Meh, it's a mixed medium. I suppose it would depend upon the quality of the work. Maus won a Pulitzer Prize if I remember right, and it was a visual novel.

While harem and fantasy are the two main genre of VNs there are quite a few that do not deal with this

ebooks retain the quality of books in a different format, while VN are a mix of porn/kids book/ horny teen fantasy stories
