Downloading Ebook Vs Reading Conventional book

Having the book in front of you is the best. I am taking a class that has an e-book and I hate it. First, you need to be around a computer. The second, the e-book doesn't have the same page numbers as the table of contents so it is a lot of scrolling to figure out where you are especially when you are trying to find one thing. I rather have spent more money getting the textbook rather than the e-book.

I would rather read the real thing. I love to read and read fairly quickly but I find trying to read on the computer takes me longer, and it is harder to concentrate.

Well for me as long as it's a reading material I'd read it. As long as it has useful information or entertaining I'll read it. I think e-book has improved our learning and has added to the many sources of knowledge so I accept e-book as something valuable. Although sometimes when you transfer e-book to gadgets like mp4 player the text doesn't convert line breaks but as long as it's understandable I'd go for it. Currently, I love listening to audiobooks because I believe it develops my listening skills and proper pronunciation of the English language.

i agree with you. reading an ebook on the computer screen puts a lot of strain on my eyes. besides, i can't take it with me to wherever i like to read it like in bed or the bathroom haha! some people suggest printing out the ebook so it's like a real book. but how much paper and ink will it cost you? so i just prefer to buy the real book.
