Do You Prefer E-Books or Hard-Copy Books ?

If i needed to read a book, i must buy a hard copy of that book.. i don't like reading ebooks online or ebooks in smart phones as they are kind of hard to read, the letters are too small, etc.. the scrolling of every page is the hardest part for me.. so i still prefer the hard copy books..

If I need to read the whole book, I must get a hard-copy. I can't watch the sreen too long, which make my eyes uncomfortable. But if I want search something in the book or read some parts of the book, I will use an E-book. I can get them online easily. That almost cost me nothing.

I prefer hard-copy books, actually usually paperback, because I can be in a more comfortable chair and can read while watching TV. Also, trying to read a book on a screen is not easy on my eyes and is just less convenient as far as all the mechanics of reading go.

I prefer hard-copy cause I don't like staying focused on text on my screen. The light is really not pleasant if they maybe made a less lit portable screen just for e-books that is really thin than I might consider reading e-books.

For fiction, I prefer actual books, but for how to, ebooks, because you can download them and get them quicker.

I prefer the hard copy than ebook. I know that now everywhere in this world yelling about global warming and going green. But as a generation from transition era, i have experienced much with paper reading. Ebook is good and can save our world forest and suitable with go green campaign. But for some purpose, hard copy is much better, such as reading a bad time story. When you asleep, you can put your hard copy book besides your bed quickly. But if you use ebook reader when you asleep, it would be electricity power wasting a whole night, and it's possible your ebook reader broken on the morning. I personally think ebook could be generally accepted on my future grandson's generation era. Currently we are on transition era. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I don't read that much, but I have order some e-books before on the internet

I do prefer hard books. I don't like Ebooks as you are bound to read them on a notebook or on a desktop. I prefer reading a book in a garden or in a quiet environment. So I do prefer the tradition technology when compared with the new electronic one.

I too have a huge collection of E-books, but I find reading E-books as a very irritating and boring task. Specially when it comes to reading novels, stories, I prefer hard copies sice they are easy to carry in hand, can be carried even on bed or in the toilet and we can sleep with them. I use E-books of only those topics that I have to refer very seldomly. Like those of programming books of Java, C++ etc. because in that case, I don't have to read a lot. Reading E-books causes eye strain, and I try to avoid it until and unless a certain emergency arises.

I used to read hard-copy books before. It is very convenient and comfortable for me to read them anywhere like on the bed. Now I like to download the E-books from the internet for free. Since I don't have much personnel time, I like to read through the content very quickly. E-books are just a very good choice.

I much prefer a hard copy book. I do not like to read on a conputer screen for a long time. the hard back book is still easy to carry around and does not reuire batteires or electricy to operate. I do have two cd-rom disk with a small collection of e-books, they came free with a copy of a hard back book. the pubisler does promote e-books and use the cd disk as a way of promoteing their product. I wanted to read some of the books on the first disk but I acculy printed them out with my printer and did not use my computer at all. the second disk I am not sure about what I will do with yet.

I prefer hardcopy books-I hate reading offline. I feel like I'm researching or studying or something plus I have to have a computer with me or else I can't read it. Books I can take anywhere. I would absolutely love a kindle one day if I get rich. I would love to be able to read any book I want anytime with a small portable gadget.

I like physical actual hold to read books. I have downloaded some Ebooks and I get bored with them fairly easy. I dont like having to sit at the computer, if I am using the desktop to read something. I can pick up a book and take it anywhere I go just about and read it whenever I want.

I prefer traditional books for several reasons 1. Reading on th internet is bad for our eyes. My eyes always feel sore after surfing the internet of sometime 2. Traditional book is more convenient, we can take it with us in our handbags. Whenever I have some free time, I can take it out and enjoy it 3. I just love the feeling when I hold a book in hand , it makes me feel enriched and steady.

I do have hard-copy paper books with me, but since i'm running out of space and paper bookk are more vulnerable to water, I prefer ebooks more, because they're the same as regular books, except that I can download and save them to my hard drive, they save me a lot of space in my room and take less space on my hard drive, they don't cause me much eyestrain even though I do have to take a break once in a while from reading on a computer screen, and saves paper in the long run. Those are the reasons why I always find the exact same books that are cluttering up my room in ebook format. This includes booklets, magazines, pamphlets, etc.

i dont read much due to my ADD but i can concentrate easier if its in an actual book and not on the pc..

In hard-copies, I can bring them anywhere I want whether in public places or even at the toilet. I can also bookmark it so that I could easily remember the last page I read. In e-books, it's complete opposite because it only stays in the computer. The only good thing in e-books is you can download some of them for free. But still, I prefer the traditional way.

I also prefer hard copy books than e books. If I own the book, I love to highlight the words or phrases I want to remember on a certain book. I am more comfortable reading on hard copy books than on the computer. However, if I cannot afford to purchase said book or it is not available in our locality, I am forced to read it through e book.

It depends. If I want to consult some materials or information, e-books are my first choice because they are very convenient and time-consuming. But if I have more time, I like to read hard-copy books. I have been used to reading hard-copy bookes, I like the sweet smell of printing oil, the true feeling of touching the paper. Up to now, I keep the habit of reading books before any sleep. Although you can get any information, I still go to the bookstore every week to select some books I like. The traditional books can not replaced by e-books. In addition, for the consideration of health, most people still prefer to read the traditional books.

i prefer a hard-copy book because become my habit. if use e-book a lot of constraints suck a play game, so not concentrate.
