Books are always the best companion for anybody.. But definitely a ebook doesn't play that role for my case.. I ve struggled to study from an ebook many times.. Any time I would prefer a book rather than a ebook:)

I never read e-books because I don't like staring at monitor for a long time..
I prefer reading books for my study..

I really don't like e-books. It makes my eyes feel weird. I'm a bit more traditional on this matters than being modern at all.

haha...I agree, it is not so comfortable to read too much stuff from a computer..your eyes tends to get very dry and tiring by keep looking at the monitor. I used to read stuff from computer all the time..but I found out that...I fall asleep very very easily...and yea...not really reading at a efficient rate...so I gave up...reading on computer if it has too much stuff...perhaps I print them out...:0


myLot reputation of 94/100. 1anurag1 (718)   ranked 850 out of 15,160 in internet  3 months ago

i think the same problem of dryness when i stare for long time on the monitor. i think it is better to take the print of the ebook and then read.
but i have seen many people they can read for long hours even on monitor.

I think I am the opposite. I prefer reading on the computer screen and I get tired faster when I read on paper. I also don't like the smell coming out of most papers. But it seems most people prefer to read it on paper and they print out everything. If it is possible to make reading on screen be more acceptable to everyone, we could save a lot papers and hence a lot of trees.

Ebooks can't match with common books of course. People will feel a little tired and uncomfortable for there exists some facts that do harm to our body with computer.

Books are our friends for we can gain all information from them but Ebooks. You'd better spend lots of time on computer and study with ebooks and you can't benefit anything from them. In fact, reading ebooks on computer is a bad habit for me.

Same here, i think it is because of the radiation from the screen that makes our eyes become more stressed. Sometimes when i do mylot i even feel that my eyes get stressed from the long time i spend online posting.hehe. I would still prefer reading books if i would be reading something long but if i would prefer using the computer when i am just doing a little research for a certain topic. Since most of the topics that could be found online are much more updated as compared to those that are found in books.

I love e-books because they are lighter than books lol. But I can't stand reading it for too long as it hurts my eyes. If you force yourself they even causes eyestrain. I only read it once in a while though.
