I prefer the usual books. I mean, I don't, you might call me old fashioned, but I like to be able to hold the book while I'm reading it. That new book smell you get and the pages looking all crisp and new. I don't really like how everything's getting so technicalized. If books go away leaving ebooks, what would be next?

like the most i too prefer pdf or other kind of e-book's ... like for example when i whant to learn some programming language i dont have time to go in book store to order a book and then wait atleast 2 or more days for it to get her, then i just search for e-book and start learning it right away :P

If we talk of buying I'd rather go for thr E-books because you can have it online, well most of them. If we mean of reading, I prefer books. Because I can lots of things in the computer other than reading. I normally read books and do some surfing at the same time. I don't want to kill time or used all of my time reading on my screen.

It depends on what I'm reading. I read so much online at work, that I prefer to read a real paper book if I'm reading for recreation or my own personal enrichment.
If I'm reading for research, or just need to find something specific in the document or book, then I prefer an eBook because I can search for exactly what I want or need to read.
eBooks also tend to be more affordable, which is another plus for eBooks!

I would go for ordinary books. I do not like reading on the screen

i dont exactly know how much books in pdf format costs. how much do they cost? although both pdf format and paper back or hard bound books has its advantages and disadvantages, i prefer to be holding the book, be able to flip the page on to the next page, rather than scrolling the the book format in the computer or in the palm pilot or etc. i feel that i would get distracted while im reading it on a pdf format with other things on my computer or palm pilot. lol
