I stopped reading newspapers many years ago. Now, I watch news in TV and go through e-paper. I don't have time to go through newsapper in the morning because I will be hurrying to go to office in the morning. I decided not to pay fopr newspaper anymore. Do you still read newspaper daily? Do you prefer newspaper in hand over e-paper? Is the feeling of reading newspaper in hand different from reading e-paper?

If i were married i possibly could live without my wife for a few days, but cant survive without newspapers for one day. I was initiated to reading newpapers and periodicals from a very young age. I am addicted to it. So i am willing to divorce my non-existing wife but am life long married to newpapers.

It is nice to hear that you read a lot. I was surprised to notice that your English is very good, it might be of your reading. It seems you are spending a lot of moeny for newspaper and periodicals. They are a good friend to people. I used to read a lot when I was in school and college, now there is no time to read. A lot of work to do in office and at home.

Spend Money? no way.. i am bankrupt daliaji, seriously. I made it a habit to visit public libraries and use to read lots of comics. Thx for the compliments. Actually i am not that good in english. But i have learn't the art of playing with words. Many people have praised me for my english, both spoken and written, even foreigners. But believe me, i laugh it away as compliments from the ignorant. Thx for responding.

I love to read newspapers. Although you are getting instant news in the television and Internet, still Newspaper is the best bet and you just cannot beat them. I love reading newspapers and that is the place where you can get an In detail analysis of whatever you wish to have and nothing can replace newspaper upon that. I always read newspaper in the public library as I find it difficult to afford for newpapers and other magazines on a daily and weekly basis respectively.

It is a good idea to memembership in a public library if you are a good reader. I am not a good reader and I read only here and there even if I get a newspaper in hand to read. My parents are fond of reading. My dad will spend around one and half hours daily reading each and everything in newspaper. I don't know what is the use of spending that much time on that. Later, he starts going through all news channels one after the other. Now, he is retired and has as lot of time in hand.

You can still catch me reading a Newspaper from time to time, and I find you can find out more about some things from a different point of view than you would online or from the News as well. I do not read the paper everyday, nor find it necessary too, but I will pay for a newspaper occassionally when bored, or just to see what is going on in the world.

Hi daliaj, I still keep on reading newspaper until today though I do read latest news and information from e-paper daily. My husband likes reading newspaper and he buys newspaper every morning. Yeah, I could read newspaper at anytime and anyway. I have to depend on internet connection I then could read e-paper on my laptop. We don’t have wide coverage of wifi service in my place yet. Of course I prefer to read e-paper as the contents of them will be updated every now and then Besides I will watch the latest tv late evening news as well. Happy posting and have a nice day!

Hey, I think that the Newspaper is never going to die out, mainly because people like to actually read the newspaper every single day, even I like to. I couldn't stand reading that much information on the Internet, too bad for my eyes. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Yes reading a newspaper is a different experience then just reading a epaper.. Epaper might cover news of around the world and the latest updates but the newspaper gives information of the local news around the city and the area that we stay in.. it also gives us information of the local offers available...

I don't read the newspaper anymore but I think that we all should so we can support all the people who have jobs in the newspaper business cause some of them are being laid off right now.

I just recently started reading the newspaper again, mostly for local content. Also, sometimes I find out about great deals, sales or coupons that I don't seem to see online. However, I only read the sunday paper because its jam packed with information. During the week, I watch the news or listen to news radio.

I read newspaper and do not check e-paper. Most of the time I'll be sitting infornt of the PC and sitting for long hours makes me get tires and my back aches, SO I do not prefer watching and reading in computer. Some times I watch TV news if I have no time to read paper.
