What type of reading you enjoy most: Reading E-books or Reading the Paperbacks?

On my end, I rather read ebooks, I have a Palm smartphone which has Dataviz application where I download the ebooks and read it on my phone wherever I go. So, it is much more convenient for me to bring my mobile phone than bring a paperback version of my current favorite book.

I prefer paperbacks. It doesn't hurt my eyes compared to reading it on ebooks. But if I can't afford to buy or the book is not available on the library, I'll be forced to read it from Ebooks. I have a hand-held that serves as my pocketbook just in case I can't borrow from the library. May I know what you are reading right now? I am looking for Nicholas Sparks' Ebooks.

Hi beeh13u! I currently reading John Grisham's ebooks. If you are looking for Nicholas Sparks' ebooks, you can actually download it for free from this website: www.4shared.com then just type the name of the author. Hope you like it! :-)

While it's true that E-books are more convenient, I still prefer the good old paperback books. I like the feel of paper on my hands; the scent of ink and paper; the texture and the artwork of the cover.

Hi frenzylady, Welcome to Mylot. I can enjoy reading both kind of, but when I am free I am spending time with internet so more possibility to read here in net. I do read for my kids at home that is paper books. Since there is no internet facility in mobile I can’t enjoy the reading on my travel. I don’t carry books with me on travel (short travel).

I prefer a paperback. While it is more convenient to read on my mobile gadget, I don't like the reading experience that it gave.

I still enjoy reading paperbacks the most. But reading e-books is nice too. I guess I just haven't found the perfect device to read them with yet. If I had, I might prefer that!

Definitely old fashion way, paperback. You will more fill of it. But of course with all the new technology, e-book is much more convenient. You can a few books in one gadget. Much easier to carry along every where you go.
