I think they both work. Certain times you need the internet, you can find alot of good books that have been scanned in just for people to read and enjoy. But sometimes, there's nothing better than lying down to bed and falling asleep to a good book. Lately I've been reading my son's manga books. Those are Japanese comics, you start in the back and read towards the front, from right to left. You can read thru one in about an hour if you stop and look at the artwork. Sometimes, you just need a quick read. So what do you prefer? Reading a book or reading it online?

It depends what type of information or stuff I want to read. If it's a fictional books e.g. twilight, Ingo then I prefer to read from an actual book because you can read it anywhere any time and could fit in your bag.
However, you can do the same with internet too because it's much cheaper, free and it's easy to find it online, like the manga book.:D, but I don't think you can have internet with you wherever you go=P

Actually i like reading from hard copy that is books.But i could not buy some rare and almost every book i wanted.So i read in internet but only for compulsion and the reason is reading from book will get less strain and i feel i can concentrate more and while reading in internet sometimes i feel bored even i read interesting topics and i get strained more.
Happy reading!!!
Thanks for the discussion!!!

I'm a total bookworm, but only generally get to read in bed or while eating lunch as my kids distract me.
I don't think reading online is the same, I like to be able to snuggle up and get lost in a good book, which is difficult to do with a computer!

well, i would prefer reading a book anytime to reading on the internet. i think it is far more comfortable reading a book on the bed in a posture convenient to you. while on the computer,it stresses your eyes as well as the posture you need to have o be able to read. It is difficult to read for longer time on the net.

for the most part I prefer to sit in my easy chair and put my feet mu and relax with a good book. If it is a book i will be returining to for information i also use my yellow highlighter. This is mostly when I am reading non fiction.

If the information is published and available as a book, I would much prefer the hard copy form. Reading on internet is too challenging to my eyes. I would reserve the maximum reasonable time for other activities online. And for novels, reading a book gives me the material feel and emotional pleasure, which relate me the my earlier years when I wandered in novels of different nations, as if travelling through time and space. It is really a pity that our younger generation is missing such a great pleasure of mankind.

Reading on the internet is not at all a safe option as it will have adverse effects on our health. It is good only for short term reading like if you are preparing for an interview so you want to brush up your basics. Books have been humans companion for a longer period of time so there is no question of them becoming obsolete. Online PDFs are just an alternative way for reading.
