Do you find it annoying reading ebooks on the monitor? I cant bear it after 4 pages my eyes start to hurt. I dont know what the deal is behind it but i find it much easier to read anything else than a book on the computer.

Hello HealerMike, i don't like reading online. If it's some article, forum or communication place - it's o.k., but books are too long for me to read them in internet. Also the monitors of our computers doesn't help to our eyes, they make them tired and stressed, so for me best way for reading is a book made by paper. If i have to be honest, i'm little jealous with people who feel comfortable with reading books online, because i can see on my language every kind of book already exist in internet - full content and free.

In certain circumstances I really do enjoy reading e books. For school, the textbooks, we have the option for them to be e books. Which I find to be very useful to be honest with you. Looking up information, terms to study for an exam is much easier with an electronic book then it is for a standard hardback book. It also saves time where I can study a bit more carefully and does not get me frustrated. For leisure, I'm still going to stick with e books. There are times where I read on the Internet that I tend to scroll and miss large chunks of text. With important information and for e books, I think that is the same thing. So for leisure purposes, I am still sticking with the more traditional books. I will cling onto that and will not let go for as long as I can manage.

I don't like to read books on a large monitor, but I like them on a pda/phone or ebook reader. I have an old palm lifedrive and a sony reader for ebooks. My view is not really good : it is good to be able to choose my default font size and background color, and I prefer to read a book on these devices than on paper today.

It depends on where I read them. I recently got an e book reader, and reading on it is very comfortable, because they use a special technology that is easier on the eyes or something. But reading from a computer screen is really not nice, I agree!

Internet has taken everything now we can watch movies on pc, listen movies,talk with friends but there are certain things which can't be entertained on pc. For example say reading a book most of us don't like reading books on the computer. Because books are books.So,reading books on computer is annoying and I don't like reading books on computer
