Hey there guys, Today's discussion is about reading with a solid book in front of you or using an Ebook? OR, does it matter to you at all? As you know the recent release of the IPad has been popular! It let's read and buy Ebooks online! What I want to know is that which one do you prefer? Do you like reading it the old fashioned way? How about with technology?

So tell me guys!

- Fry

I prefer to use a pdf reader on my computer to read. I like looking into a backlit screen better than having to adjust a book to catch the light on a page. Plus, You can zoom the page in a pdf reader. I don't have a magnifying glass, but that's not really an option for me when it comes to a real book.

Abb I see but for me I usually like doing it the old-fashioned way as I don't have an IPad! Especially traveling with the family for a vacation! Thanks for posting!

Hi fryloc,

I prefer the old fashion one. It is more comfortable for me to read the solid book rather then read it on my computer screen. I can read the solid book everywhere and every time without any restriction. I even can read it while I am waiting for the bus or train and continue it when I board it. I did not have that luxury if I read it from my lap top because I can not just open my lap top everywhere especially during peak hours.

I also can read the book while leaning my back on the sofa or while I am walking. I need to sit in front of my computer/lap top for me to be able to read the e-book. I do not know about IPad because I never experience it before. I also did not like to sit in front of my computer for a long time because I would feel eyesore if I do so.

I prefer to read the old fashioned way. I can't stand looking at a screen, it just doesn't feel right to me. I like having a book in my hands that I can turn the pages of. I like watching my bookmark go through the pages. I prefer owning an actual book and putting it in my bookshelf to having a digital file on a computer or e-reader somewhere. Plus, who thought mixing technology and books was a good idea? Technology is temperamental. I will die the day my books can crash.

Yes! I also don't looking at a computer screen for such a long time. It hurts your eyes! It kinda blurs my vision after I have read a while. Tried and failed, I like reading the old fashioned way! Thanks for posting!
