would you rather read real books or ebooks?   

Hello!

Well in my opinion it's best to read books, because of some reasons which I took in consideration :
The power bill [Reading a book doesn't cost anything,but keeping a laptop jacked for hour does squeezes a few pennies.]
The bulky laptop[It's hard to stay in one position to read on the laptop.Still You can read a book anywhere,anytime,anyhow]
My sensible eyes[Standing too much at the computer affects my eyes a lot ,so the lees the better.Reading a whole book on a screen will probably destroy my eyes for good.]
The Easy handling of a book[Books are generally small and take less effort to handle,they also occupy small spaces in your baggage.]
Tradition [Where's the joy of turning pages,feeling the old smell of books.]
Availability [You can read a book anywhere,even when the power is out and anything, thing impossible for a laptop whose battery usually lasts for 3-4 hours.]
Reading a book is quiet ,relaxing, somehow natural,traditional.

Cheers!

Hi charlady welcome to mylot. I like to read in real books. my eyes would get tired if I read in my pc. If it is the book I would be more comfort and also I can read the book at any position other than sitting. I usually lie down while reading books.

I would prefer a real book because there is a large variety of books and moreover I can't afford the current bills.

I prefer real books. I never finished a e-book and I have a huge collections once given by a friend. it´s not the same sitting infront a screen reading, then holding a book, turning each page, and every now and then fall asleep on the book.
I wouldn`t want to fall asleep on my keyboard!
as much as I like my PC, for reading I will always prefer the real thing, a real book that I can take with me everywhere, I can mark/highlight things in them, maybe make short sketches or notes with a pencil and and.....
I cannot do this with my PC-
I am sure "real" books will never dissapear from our life, no matter how far the computer technology goes

Well I still like reading real books instead of ebooks. First of all, I don't have an electronic reading device for me to carry all my ebooks around with me. Buying one would be a good choice, but considering the fact that I could already buy loads of books with that one ebook, makes me think that it's not such a wise choice after all. Second, ebooks are such a pain in the head since reading them off of a computer screen is twice as more tiring in the eyes as opposed to just reading regular books.

I prefer e-books and it's more convenient and concentrating.:)

Personally I would much prefer to have the actual book in my hand. Reading a book is an experience - not just reading it, but the feel of the book in your hand. Reading an ebook would feel too cold for me x

i would still go for real books.

I have tried reading on screen,but I dont like it at all. my eyes hurt,and I cant lie on bed, unlike reading paperbacks.
I have read many books, and I love it. I'm already contented with it.

if i have the same book with a book and an ebook, i would prefer the real book that doesn't need any battery, power, scrolling, that i can take where ever i go, that doesn't break down even after making it fall from a hundredth floor building. But in when there is no cash to buy books and ebook is easily available, i would prefer ebook because of the money it save. But at the same rate, i will always go for the old fashioned books.
