Do you still buy printed book?

Buying a printed book still has a lot of advantages. - If your pc or your back up crashes you will loose your e-book which a normal book won't have. - Your eyes don't start to hurt which sometimes happens to people who stare at a pc screen for too long a time in a row. - You can access the book without need of an electronic device which is better for the environment and easier in certain places. - Easier to protect copyright and make sure the writer gets paid for his effort. E-books are great for students as it would seriously decrease the weight they have to lift around with regular printed books. I hope some day all the text books needed for college can be bought with a digital version attached to the printed book so you can load it into your iliad (device for reading e-books) and take the digital version to school and keep the printed one at home.

Hi, I enjoy the feeling as you say, "of holding a book" sitting in my favorite place, sipping my favorite beverage and spending a few hours reading. Been in front of a PC, or having your laptop in front of you requires a posture that for me is not comfortable at all. So Iam one of those people who will always buy the printed books!

Yup, I still buy printed books. There are many books that are still not on the internet, especially the old books. Moreover, there's the pleasure of reading a book either lazing on the sofa or in bed, until I feel tired and fall asleep. I can't very well read my ebooks in bed or on a lazy chair! I would read ebooks, only at work, and that's to do with technical stuff!
