I for one am not a very big fan of reading text on a computer screen. I like to read books. Besides you can take books to anywhere you like and computers are immobile and you have to sit infront of you comp screen to read. Its very annoying for me. I like to have a book to read and read it while lying on my bed. What do you like? What do you prefer?

I am quite the same way. I would much rather pick up a book and read it rather than read an e book. After about 3 hours of looking at a computer screen my eyes need a break.

If I can I read things o the paper. I print pdf files I get to learn on my university. I only use computer screen when there's no other choice or when it'sa small portion of text to read. I find it tiresome to read from a computer screen, besides my eyes are getting red from that. I would never read a whole e-book, never ever. Rading is a form of relax for me and I can't relax reading from an LCD.

I don't particularly like read in front of the computer screen. For one, my laptop is a 12 inch one so the screen's a little small. It also causes eye strain so after a couple of hours on the computer I just have to take a break. I have downloaded a lot of ebooks though so I have no choice but to read them on the computer.Priniting would be a waste of time and money.

I also agree with you... that reading anything on comp screens for more time are not good for your eyes... On the other hand reading books are good. I if read anything would prefer to read books... because we can take books to anywhere and not the comps

Well before I do read some ebooks on my computer but I think reading from books are better. I would also prefer reading on bed, although sometimes I might fall asleep. also reading in computers could be harmful to your eyes XD

As like you, I would prefer reading a book. But sometimes, the articles or the things I need to read are online and it is sometimes not practical to print the whole lot and read it over my study table. But if given the choice for this one, I would say that a book is still better, yes, because you can take it anywhere, you can read and go back to anytime you want.
