books on line

I don't really buy books to download online as they are very hard to read on a screen. If I did, I too would end up printing them out like you do. I think the best way to enjoy a book is to curl up in your favourite spot and have a good read. There is nothing like the feel of a real book in your hand. I do agree with you about downloaded books being expensive when you consider the price to download them and then the ink and paper use to print them.

I wouldn't be able to read a book on the computer. I can't handle not having the book within my hands.

I hardly ever read any paper books nowadays. I prefer to read from my computer screen and this is how I get my information about new things. If this had happened before I would not have to buy so many books. I literally have hundreds gathering dust in my book cases. Cheers!!

Hi, Pat! These might be great for people who have those hand-held reading machines, which I don't. I couldn't possibly sit at the computer and read, and I couldn't drag it around with me everywhere I go, so I think they're relatively useless. I prefer to read "normal" books or listen to books on CD while driving. Are we just dinosaurs? I don't think so. Joanne

It's easy to read on line books after printing them in papers. I do that.Reading on the computer is very much harmful for our eyes.It creats pressure on eyes.Then we have to use more powerful glass in our spectacles.

It all comes down to the "Instant Gratification Factor". Do you want to buy a book on Amazon and wait for 2 weeks to receive it in the mail, or do you want to have the information in your hot little hands right away? I know that if I read about something, I want to read the entire book now, an instant download is the thing for me.
