Today, any kind of story, knowledge, etc can be read on your computer, mobile phone, PDA. I'm used to download free ebook from my favorite sites, but i think reading on the "real book" is more efficient for me. So how about you?

I visit a website where I also write, it's called fictionpress. It's not an ebook site per say, that is you don't download the stories, but you can read stories. I also like to read books in print, that is, off the computer. Either way works, but sometimes it's much more cozier to read them offline.

I'm going to check out fictionpress since I've been picking away at some fiction writing myself. I agree with your opinion that reading a book offline is cozier. I love to curl up in a chair with a good book, especially after my husband and daughter are asleep at night. That's about the only time I get for myself during the day.

I prefer reading real book over reading on the computer.Since reading is one of my hobby I love reading different books and enjoys a lot.Normally I feel very comfortable reading real books as it doesn't affect our eyes whereas while reading from computer my eyes get tried very fast.

i think it depends on my heart (iam moody person). if today i want to read by book, so i read the book, but i read too knowledge by online or by ebooks. it`s no matter whats the type of book or ebook, the matter for me is the content and knowledge itself

Real books where we can touch the pages are munch better for me than ebooks, it kills my eyes when i read an ebook, it's not confortable to always staring at the computer lol. But the inconvenient for real books it's that we don't have enought space to keep them all...

I totally agree with u..i have also downloaded many books from my fav sites but i can heardly read them on my pc. I still cherish my habit of scribbling and underlining which i cannot do in an ebook. Moreover, if i read for a long time, i feel headacheand cannot hold my concentration

I much rather prefer an actual book for reading because staring at a computer screen for too long hurts my eyes and I already do that enough. Plus I just like the feeling of reading a book instead of a machine.

I like to do things the old-fashioned way and read my books as hard copy. I love going to a library and browsing through the stacks. It's peaceful and all those books represent ininite possible escapes for me!
