Do You Prefer E-Books or Hard-Copy Books? email this discussion to a friend?

Nowadays with the advancement of technology and the internet, e-books are becoming more popular. So, the question is, do you prefer to read on your computer or notebook or do you prefer to have a hard-copy book to read?

Although e-books are much more convenient, but I still prefer the traditional hard-copy books where I can flip the pages and put a bookmark on.

In hard-copies, I can bring them anywhere I want whether in public places or even at the toilet. I can also bookmark it so that I could easily remember the last page I read.

In e-books, it's complete opposite because it only stays in the computer. The only good thing in e-books is you can download some of them for free. But still, I prefer the traditional way.

I like physical actual hold to read books. I have downloaded some Ebooks and I get bored with them fairly easy. I dont like having to sit at the computer, if I am using the desktop to read something. I can pick up a book and take it anywhere I go just about and read it whenever I want.

I do prefer hard books. I don't like Ebooks as you are bound to read them on a notebook or on a desktop. I prefer reading a book in a garden or in a quiet environment. So I do prefer the tradition technology when compared with the new electronic one.

I much prefer a hard copy book. I do not like to read on a conputer screen for a long time. the hard back book is still easy to carry around and does not reuire batteires or electricy to operate. I do have two cd-rom disk with a small collection of e-books, they came free with a copy of a hard back book. the pubisler does promote e-books and use the cd disk as a way of promoteing their product. I wanted to read some of the books on the first disk but I acculy printed them out with my printer and did not use my computer at all. the second disk I am not sure about what I will do with yet.
