Actually, I love paper books more. Now, there are numerous electronic books online( of course, including some of those I like very much but cannot be found around me), however, sometimes looking at the monitor makes my eyes so uncomfortable that I have to leave it for a while.
As for paper books, I prefer to read one page by page in my bed or in a chair so that I can mark the sentences as I like.
Holding a paper book,I can feel that it offers me a feeling to get so close to the author and also to touch the reality.
Then, what's your idea-which kind do you like better? Share it with us~

I like a paper book better than an ebook. I like to be able to read wherever I want and not have to lug around the laptop. Also staring at the computer screen for long periods of time starts to hurt my eyes. With a paper book you can read while laying in bed, I find this harder with an ebook. And there's something about being able to hold the book in your hands that makes the reading experience even better.

i also love paper books more because i am a kinesthetic person. but these days it's easier to have the electronics books. as for me i usually download the ebook then print it lol because as yoy stated in your discussion our eyes get really tired when trying to read from the monitor.
thank you
