Have you read an ebook?

Hi...I have never read an ebook before though I have tried to. It is too tiring for my eyes. I still prefer the old way grab a book, snuggle up and read it. And yes I agree with you that there are plenty of ebooks out there and many are a whole load of nonsense.

I can't remember the last time I read an e-book. I have never bought one, but I have requested some free informational e-books in the past. From what I remember of them, they were only a few pages in length and I found some of them to have information which was out of date or which I already knew. I think a good e-book can be useful as a short guide, or a "How To..." book, but generally I think I can get more from searching on the internet and finding the information for myself, or by reading a proper book, which will have more than a few pages.

I have an ebook of Da Vinci Code...i tried to read it but then i find it hard because unlike an actual book..i can carry it around and then i can lie down while reading...so i stopped reading ebooks..i rather find it boring compared to the actual book..and yes i guess you can say im old fashioned but i really loved the smell of old books..they bring back lots of memories...unlike ebooks you smell nothing...you can't hold it...can't flip it...

i have several educational ebooks and i have read some of them...of course i would prefer an actual book rahter than ebook....but i guess having an asus ee pc or a laptop is also kind of ok..

Hello richiem. I have never read an ebook. So, I couldn't begin to compare them to other books. I am not sure what you mean by "reliable." I guess I'm hoping that someone with knowledge about whatever the subject is edits and copyedits ebooks to assure their accuracy before they are available for sale. If that process does not occur, then I guess we can't really assume the information they offer is reliable.

yup i have read all of dan brown ebooks and a couple of harry potter ebooks. but now i have stopped due to eye strain.

I have read many ebooks. Latest one Watchers by dean koontz. I like reading books on computer. I got huge ebook collection as well. Its quite harmful for eyes but i least care.

Never read an ebook actually, i keep reading books than ebooks, because if i cannot finish to read atleast i can fold & read later but in ebooks you need to finish all story.

Hi Richie! I like reading on any kind of Media,be it in a bound book,or on computer screen,or on an ebook reading device.The Last Ebook I read/downloaded was a "Firefly" Fanfic Novel called "My own kind of Freedom",which I enjoyed. I also have a Java platform app. on my Samsung phone which is a free ebook reader from www.booksinmyphone.com,they'll give you the (free) reader,and free access to a varied library of books,some classic,some New..I have ALL the Sherlock Holmes stories and Jules Verne's "Journey to the centre of the Earth" in my pocket!I'd recommend it..you can change the font size from a built in menu,so they're easy to read,and change the page from white to black if you prefer less bright pages or reading at night..I've yet to have a problem with an ebook..the technology needs some work yet,though..I'm not such a fan of them that I want to buy one of Amazon's "Kindle" Readers,or Sony's Machine,to read books I can get on my computer for free!

I'm so sorry for coming in so late. However, I must admit that I don't like ebooks. For me reading books has already been an unwinding leisure activity for which you should be comfortably laying down in your bed or some other place and I don't count reading ebooks as a leisure activity.

Yes they may useful and can be use in the real world. But we must think that is it use ful or not. And then you have to read that.You can take good and better things.

i do not like ebooks for that it is too tired to concentrate on the computer.i prefer to read an actural books

I already read an e-book and I regret it. I got my left eye graded and i blame it on reading an e-book. Such a waste for me, for time and for electricity. What more is, the e-book i read is not that beautiful and i got bored reading it. it was a total regret. i can't bring back my perfect eyesight again.

I love reading electronic books. I have a lot of collection of e-books in my iphone. I love reading novels, especially love story. But I also read some financial books. The last book I have read is the book of Robert Kiyosaki, which tells the reader on how to save money, invest, and have your own business. It's a really good book. You should try it out.

Last ebook I read was a Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix..well it isn't actually a ebook but you can download it, but I was reading it online it is a great book and for free you can't go wrong..there are others I am going to read also. Here is a link for the Free online Harry Potter books if you like that sort of thing.. http://www.gryffindorgazette.com/2008/01/12/read-the-harry-potter-books-for-free-online/

I haven't read any e-books. I did download one, but it was a cookbook.

yes, many times over...especially IT books. happy mylotting

No, I figure that I spend enough of my day staring at a computer screen. When I read a book (and it's rare these days with a two-year old!) I like to read a proper paper version. I think it just wouldn't be so enjoyable and luxurious to read it from a screen. Reading a paper book somehow seems as if it would inspire my imagination more, and be a lot more relaxing. I just can't imagine losing myself in an e-book in the same way as I do in an old-fashioned version!

i have not read any ebooks. actually i read paper books. they are easy to reach, on my desk, on my bedside table.

No, I never try to read an E-Book for it is very rare for me to read a book as well but if I would have a time to read such book then I guess that it would be nice for I only have to open the computer an read as well as I can....
