No i do not like reading so much on the net but I prefer reading in a book. However if once in a blue moon I find something worth to stay back and read then I do it.

Nope I am those that do not like reading on the internet. Short articles are okay but not e-books. My eyes get very tired if I stare and read for too long on the internet. I still prefer the old original way of reading a real book.

Sometimes i have to read on the internet,but i do not like it very much. For i have to read for a long time,if i read on internet too long time, my eyes will be uncomfortable.So most of the time i choose to read a book.

I have a much easier time reading books, than reading on the internet. For some reason, I just can't really read from the internet. It's much easier for me to read from an actual book.

If I need to read a average sized article etc on the NET, it is fine. But reading a novel, academic subject in the NET is just not for me. I am far more comfortable with books.... turning its pages, smelling the smell of the pages... and reading while half-sitting on my bed, or in my study table.... This is much more appealing to me.

For short articles and discussions, yes, that's fine for me to read on the internet. I however, just have a hard time reading page after page staring at a computer screen. My eyes start to hurt and I get the worst headache. So for casual reading, such as novels, I have to stick with books. There is also something a bit more rewarding about have this thick book in your hand and flipping page to page until you get to the end. There's a sense of acomplishment that you just don't get with reading on the internet.

I am fond of reading ebooks and How Tos so I prefer reading on the Internet. Been spending most of my time reading a variety of topics on the Internet lately. Have a great day!

Yes, I like reading on the internet very much. As we may find much interesting information on the web in a quicker way, we can learn much more in a short time compared with books or any other printed materials. And now I seldom buy books,newspaper or magazines to read.

Reading a book on a computer screen is tiresome and and very tiring to the eyes too.Reading means books.The books have so many advantages over the computer screen.The intimacy and comfort of carrying the book and placaing in your lap ,pillow and the the postures you can use to use the books are countless.I go for the books easily.

Hi, I do like reading on the Internet, but I am not comfortable with a long-term reading session on the same. It is really painful to the eyes, so it always feels better to read books, not e-books, atleast for me. I would get a printer soon, to download and read text in physical, as their is really lots of interesting content on the internet to read. Regards, AJ-Rox

I like reading on line only if I can't find it in a book at home. I like to cover my paperbacks with clear contact paper on the covers so that they are more sturdy and then highlight and mark in my books so I can go back and refer to them later. I read a lot of nonfiction. I know that you can do that on line but it's nice to just grab a book instead of always being plugged into something!
