would you rather read ebook than real soft/hard bound books?

To whatever extent may technology (until information goes to our mind by even a very quick observation like scanning), a paper book will have it's importance as it has today. ebooks has an advantage when you need to get any reference in a limited period of time.Otherwise in every case i prefer paper bound books. one , you cannot concentrate on a computer screen until you have prints, two, cannot do markings, jotting some important facts,etc.

I'm collecting books since 30 years now, and I love them. A few years ago, I was laughing about ebooks. But I have some eyes problems now, and I feel more comfortable with ebooks, because I can choose to use large readable fonts. Even with my glasses, I must drop a real book after a few pages, but I can read without trouble an entire ebook. An ebook will never replace an ink and paper book, but it can be useful when you become older and visually impaired.

I prefer my hard or soft cover books, thank you. They are more enjoyable and you can relax with them. No need to sit up the whole time. That is just not done. TATA.

No, I don't prefer e-books over real books because even though the content is the same, I agree that it's not as thrilling as when you read a real book. Also, reading on the computer puts too much strain on the eyes because of the computer radiation. Sometimes, because I don't have enough money to buy the book I like, I just resort to reading on the computer. The result is that I finish the book slower than when I read a real book.

With the fast developmemt of electronic technology,E-book is more common and convenint than real books.but till now i still cant get accustomed to e-books cause I like to smell the flavour of the real books it makes feel like reading all the time,but e-books cant do so,e-books can never get instead of real book in my life.

I don't like ebooks at all, they just feel so impersonal. I probably sound crazy, but for me there is nothing like the feel and smell of a good book. I like to curl up on the sofa with a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate when I read, you just can't do that properly with a laptop on your knee.
