Many years ago there was no internet and on e-books but paper-books. I remeber that I always read a lot of paper-books with interests and happiness . But now I suddenly find out I haven't read a paper-book for so long time . It is horrible in my opinon because I feel I am being given up by my books . I am so sad of this . Everyday I read news and novels through online or e-books not paper-books . Is it strange ? Is it normal ?

Why dont you just go to a book store, pick up a book of your genre and just start reading. It is that simplistic. It is that easy. Just do it.

While I prefer to read a novel in book form, I don't find it odd that you'd read books online or e-books. It's convenient sometimes to read online. If it makes you a bit sad, pick up a book from your local library. You can carry a small book with you.

That is normal in one sense as you can find everything online so easily that the preference of internet goes higher than books nowadays. But on the other hand, I don't like reading novels and textbook online. Because I can scratch on the book, take it out. Read on the train, beach and everywhere. And I quite like that. The problem is I don't carry a naptop all around the place. Paperback is still more convenient to me. I know I am old-fashioned but the feel of a book in hand is always better than holding a handheld. :P

I think it is completely normal. You are now getting your reading fix on the internet instead of through books. I still prefer to read books as well. I dont think I will ever be able to completely give them up! I dont always read them in paper form though. We have purchased a digital book (the Kindle from Amazon) so that we can get digital copies instead.
