Is a Ebook better than a normal book?

I prefer real books. e books have their place, say when travelling or something, but they'll never replace real books you can hold in your hands and feel.

Personally, I don't think that one is better than the other. I think it's more about preference. I do prefer actual paper books, but that's just my preference, and it's not because ebooks aren't any good or anything. It's just what I prefer using.

i prefer the normal book. its different when your holding the actual book and turning each pages until you've done reading. also, i love to collect books. just by mere looking at my collections made me happy.

E-books are generally cheaper and they save (at least a few) trees. They save space too. You should see my bookshelves. On the other hand, a book does have a certain feel...

I prefer a genuine book in paper with pages to turn. It gives a pleasure to hold it with your both hands. Certain books I collect. It is good to purchase used and new books in the bookstore. An ebook is also a good alternative reading on the internet or with Acrobat reader or Ipad.

I also love the feel of a real book, however I have very little room where I live. 5 wall to wall shelves of books are enough for me at the moment. So an ebook is a fantastic idea, plus when I travel I only need the little ereader instead of a whole box of books to keep me happy :) My mother recently got a kindle. She's pretty exited about it. She came over the other day just to show me how it worked and the pretty read leather cover she bought for it. Having the apps and the kindle mean more variety for her - she has read the local libraries through and has even more book than me! Its up to you which way you like best really, does it fit in with your lifestyle or is it too awkward not being able to hold the actual book in your hands?

I prefer buying actual books because I can buy them at the local used bookstore cheaper than ebooks. I do not like that ebooks are almost as expensive as the new price of real books. Apparently, the value of the paper the book is printed on is not much. I see ebooks as a good environmental idea, but so are buying used books and much more affordable, especially since I can sell them back when done.

I prefer real books. I don't like eBooks at all! They're just not bookish enough. Plus, shopping for ebooks is just no fun. You can't take them off the shelves and read a random section in the middle. I like being surrounded by books too. I love filling up my bookcases, and I wouldn't trade those bookcases for a bunch of digital files on some hard drive. I love the feeling of a book in my hands. A nice thick hardcover book!

I prefer reading real books, I mean the ones printed in paper. If anytime in the future I can buy a ebook reader, so I'll start reading ebooks, I think ebooks are a good way to stop using so much paper as we do. I hope that I buy an ebook reader(don't know how are that called).

Personally, I prefer real books. I like the feeling of touching the pages and the smell of a new book. I don't like ebooks much but they're convenient and cheaper. Besides, it's better for your eyes if you read physical book rather than ebook.

There are many bookworms who loves to read that is physical,BOOM! new new technology comes their way. And they are easily inclined to adapt it. I am those kind of people...who loves technology and books, and then comes a 'Clear' yet 'major dilemma'- trying to figure it out which is better. But then sometimes i feel that regular physical books are better since I was raised up reading regular books rather than an Ipad, Kindle, or any Ebook reader on my hands...so I can't let go off that art of reading regular books. And I don't mind owing an Ipad or Amazon Kindle...
