Do you prefer reading e-books or paperbacks books?

I believe that nothing can really replace a paperback book. However I do read ebooks but I print them out. I find this a much better option than reading it off of the computer screen. If the ebook has too many pages to print at one time, I would just print the relevant chapter I need. As a matter of fact, I have a site that I sell ebooks on.

I prefer paperbacks to e-books because paperbacks are more friendly to my eyes. I already work 8 hours a day in front of a computer so I don't want to damage my eyes even more.

i like books more coz i can write on it especially my text books. but if it's novel or manga i don't mind reading e-book

you can use mp4 or mp5 to read e-books. and cell phone also can read e books. i usually use cell phone to read e books because the light is weaker when i use cell phone to read. because the mp4 can't condition the light . so i don't usually read ebook by mp4.

Depends what I'm reading really although I prefer to read an e book than on paper. I tend to fall asleep faster on paper than on an e book.. I think because its easier to focus on a computer more than it is on paper, but i hate the fact that ebooks sometimes take ages to download especially if they have a lot of graphics in them

i prefer paperbacks to ebooks. however, ebooks are cheaper, free even! so i have also downloaded a lot of ebooks.

I read them ebooks only when i'm away and lugging around a paperback will just break my back.

i love paperbacks coz they're just so handy. i love how you can read it just about anywhere and in any position (curled up in bed, in a library etc.)

second on my wishlist is a Kindle from Amazon!

Paperbacks for me ....all the way... cant take my computer with me when I go on playdates....LOL

as my username states.. I love to read books, I am a mom with 2 kids, and I get my reading done alot when we have playdates with my cousins ... the kids play, the aunts get together, and I can take my book with me and read a bit... especially when I am totally into a book!!

if I had one of those gadgets that let me download books... I havent looked into them yet... but I might consider it one day but for now...I love holding a book and turning the page!!

happy mylotting and have a great day!

I have read e-books in the past and even until now. I usually just download the e-book as a torrent. Then I download Microsoft E-book Reader. I usually download e-books if the paperback or actual book is too expensive. But I prefer actual books rather than e-books. E-books are too tiring on the eyes especially when you are in front of the computer for hours. Reading an actual book is also more fun. It is weird but I love flipping of the pages and holding the book in mya hands.

yes, my friend I always like to read book with paper back than e-book.
As I am an engineering student it is not always possible for me to buy each and every book then I have to read all those e- books.
there is one extra advantage for e-book is that it is easily available .
thank you . have a nice day.

I prefer physical books over electronic ones. Screens do hurt my eyes...and that's just one of the reasons. I suppose I could be called sentimental...it's just there's nothing more comforting, that draws me in more...than a good old fashioned book.
