Downloading Ebook Vs Reading Conventional book  

i agree with you. reading an ebook on the computer screen puts a lot of strain on my eyes. besides, i can't take it with me to wherever i like to read it like in bed or the bathroom haha! some people suggest printing out the ebook so it's like a real book. but how much paper and ink will it cost you? so i just prefer to buy the real book.

I would rather read the real thing. I love to read and read fairly quickly but I find trying to read on the computer takes me longer, and it is harder to concentrate.

Having the book in front of you is the best. I am taking a class that has an e-book and I hate it. First, you need to be around a computer. The second, the e-book doesn't have the same page numbers as the table of contents so it is a lot of scrolling to figure out where you are especially when you are trying to find one thing. I rather have spent more money getting the textbook rather than the e-book.

One of the convenient things about an ebook is that you can search anything much faster than going through the book. Especially if its for school and you want to take notes. Staring at the computer screen can be irritating to the eyes, but having an ereader, like Sony's or Amazon, it is worth getting the ebook. I just got the Amazon Kindle and its just awesome. Books can come free or they are much cheaper. And like I said, its easier to take notes with.

Well for me as long as it's a reading material I'd read it. As long as it has useful information or entertaining I'll read it. I think e-book has improved our learning and has added to the many sources of knowledge so I accept e-book as something valuable. Although sometimes when you transfer e-book to gadgets like mp4 player the text doesn't convert line breaks but as long as it's understandable I'd go for it. Currently, I love listening to audiobooks because I believe it develops my listening skills and proper pronunciation of the English language.
