I personally like ebooks rather then book. First is because its cheap. Second, because it's easy to get, and we can make money out of it. (reseller program or affiliate). However, reading ebook in front of computers is not enjoyable. I like to print it out and read it as i read book. One thing to consider to read book or ebook is: if the topic we search for is related to academic, probably we need to buy a book rather then ebook. This is because, book author have more authority on the subject matters rather than anyone can produce ebooks. Ebooks is more to leisure type of reading or do not required to quote the authors name inside the reference of thesis.

I was a bookworm before getting addicted to internet. Now I mostly read e-books. e-books are also very informative and we get updated with e-books on latest technological trends and theories. Both have their own value. Reading real books is considered to a positive part of our personality.

both have their own value but now i think the e-books are a more famous source of knowledge then paper books but they will need to be made user friendly and the interface needs to be made easier.
while the mobile ebooks are a far better option then computer e-books and i love reading them while traveling or being bored

I'm talking about Computer ebooks here. I also sometimes read ebooks on PSP and Mobile Phones but still.... its not that much fun as reading a paper book. Yea devices like the Sony Reader ARE making the interface better but what we need is a paper-sized device with a natural look, ability to read pdf's and background music with headphone plugs. also, it should have a touch-sensitive screen so we can change the page by making a pinch gesture on the touch-screen. What do ya think?
