Paper books, I don't like ebooks. I find it a hassle trying to find what line I was on.

A number of times have I tried to read a number books in digital format, however every time i was unable to, my eyes hurt after a time of looking to the monitor, so i still prefer the paper book, it´s a more pleasure experience, having the actual novel in your hand, further more you can read it anywhere, not just in front of your pc.

Definitely paper books! I can take it with me anywhere and I just love how they look on my bookshelf. I could do little remarks on the books myself too. I don't think I have owned an ebook so far (found it quite hard to read).

I prefer paper books. The internet is good for short articles, but you need paper for the long stuff. (Plus it's too difficult to read an ebook curled up in bed!)

A normal paperback book. I just prefer to read the real book because it's more comfortable to hold and sit on a chair or couch. I already spend so much time in front of the computer, I don't want to read my books here too!

Depends: am i reading this for something important or am I just reading this for fun? For something important I prefer paper so I can write note on it and highlight it.

I've got a friend who loves her pda or whatever its called, but she always carries a paperback too. As a friend of mine said - "I'd like to see you take your computer (or pda) in & read in the tub"

Definitely the paper book. Even though I read quite a lot of e-novels in my day because I couldn't find them printed :) I tend to have a penchant for ebooks too though because they take way less than normal ones and you can carry with you as many as you want. Being an avid reader that really matters to me. This is said from the rational point of view LOL but the truth is nothing compares to the feeling of holding a real book in your hand :)

It's still good to read on a paperback. Reading ebooks hurt my eyes but its fun to read ebooks on my pda coz I get to download ebooks for free.

I would prefer the normal paperback or hardbound book coz' it's really different if you have the actual book. I'm fond of collecting and one them are collectiong books ;)

I'd prefer paper books over e-books coz i'm planning to fill my shelves with all the wonderful books i've read. I'm an avid reader and book collector, that's why. ;)
