Does anyone can read from ebook effectively? I have try to read from ebook but i find out that it is very tough for me to recall back what I have study from the ebook. Finally I choose to print out the whole documents and read it page by page instead reading from ebook scroll by scroll. What is your ideas of this problem. Did you face the same problem as me before. I still think that paper and pen is the best tools for documents and writing.

Even though I have ebooks in my computer, I still prefer ordinary books when I have time to read. My reason is because when you read an ebook, you face a computer or your pda or something. I think it will definitely have some effects on your eyes if you read ebooks especially novels. Rather than ordinary books in which you can bring with you anywhere you want, the convenience it has.. definitely better than hours and hours of reading an ebook in your computer.

yes, you are right. I have ask a lot of this question and do a lot of research in the web. So far, i got the best answers from yahoo answers. When we read from the screen. I only use only eye to read it. That means only one human sensor is use to read the text. When we read from paper, we are using eye, touch sensor. Some more book is consider a physical object but e book is just image on an object. So the effectiveness of reading from book is double of the effectiveness of reading from e book. This is the main different between reading from screen and paper. Some how, I like to read e book since it really save up a lot of space for storing the books. When i really can not absorb from the e book, then I will print it out and read. This is what I do. I still think that If I can totally read from e book without refer to any paper. Then It will be create a must better and easy working environment without any paper and stationery which mess up the whole working desk. Good to listen the reply from you. Thanks.

Hi there.. Even I tried reading an ebook once, but I found it very hard to read it from there.. I was unable to remember what I read.. Therefore, then on I have never tried this idea, i just go for ordinary books...
