I hate eBbooks. I bring my books with me wherever I go, so I can read any time any place anyway. I like pages. I like the smell of pages. I like watching the pages go by as I flip them. I like having something tangible in my hands and something tangible that I can store in my bookshelf. Plus books and computers shouldn't go together! I read books to get away from computers and their flaky personalities! The day my book can CRASH, I'm not going to be happy.

Nothing beats the real thing. I love my paperbacks and hardcovers. I have over a hundred books lined up in shelves in my room and I've read every single one of them Others more than once! I read ebooks now and again because they're handy. But nothing beats having the actual copy in your hands.

I like both of them.I like to read ebook and at the same time I like to read a book too. The most I would choose and I like is read a book because it is easy than read ebook where I need to open my laptop to read it.Sometimes if my laptop does not has power, I would need to charge it.So many work. So, I prefer book than ebook.

For me, it's better to read a book. Reading something on a screen is straining to the eyes. Books have value. You don't need any gadgets, electricity, or some kind of power to turn it on o you can read it.

I prefer reading books than Ebook.I get used to the way I reading books, turning the pages ,thinking without the harm to eyes, the good feeling of touching the paper and noting somemthing I think useful or interesting.The feeling ,that's the key reasom I prefer books.

Im not a preacher of ebooks but I do have a strange liking to these technological books. Aside from being hitech the ebook also requires less physical effort to read. It only takes a mouse or keyboard to switch to another page. Unlike real books ebook have the powerful search function. If I need to find some specific part of the ebook I can find within seconds by ctrl+f but with the real one I have to use the bookmark and spend more time and effort. Ebook may not have any smell but for me I don't need to smell because it distract me from what I am reading. I don't want hassles.

Hi, hendiw. Yes, I do like to read an EBOOK, only because I can adjust the size that I want the letters to be. But, I don't really like it when I have to arrow down constantly. Sometimes, the pages goes down faster and I will have to hop and skip over what I want to see. I like having a regular book better then. It is useful having an EBOOK when it is needed.
