What do you think of e-books?

Do you read e-books? I find reading on the computer screen is difficult, but there´s no denying that it´s nice to have instant access to the information. Plus, e-books are cheaper.

I really don't like e-books. I don't like having to sit in front of my computer to read. I prefer the feel of having a real book in my hand. I love to curl up in my big bean bag and read for hours.

I've never read them, actually just recently heard about them.. do you read them? I like to curl up on the bed and read a real book. So I'm not sure if I would like them!

I do read them because here in Guatemala it would be tough to get the information otherwise . . . at least in English and for me, reading in Spanish is more tiring than reading on a computer screen! I agree, I like to read in bed as well. I save novels for that!

I do, from time to time. But honestly, I feel the same as you. I don't like reading off the screen too. I still prefer my good old paper books. ;-)

i like reading e books i find it hard to start the reading but then it gets gradually easier and i find it just as easy to read on the computer screen than reading a normal book

Personally, I prefer to curl up with the book in my hands. I stare enough at the computer screen for work. I think the strain on my eyes would be a drawback. Plus, you just can't replace the sound of pages turning or the smell of the paper.
