Ebook vs Real book

Ebook is practical than real book beside of ebook is efficient, is not hard to bring because the book is so weight, and we can safe our earth from global warming, because there are many tree are cut down for material of paper. are you agree with me?

I buy books for investment. I don't usually sell it after I'm done using it, unless someone really needs it ( might be a friend or someone). I would rather have the traditional books so I can keep it while e-book is stored in the computer / tablet which can be infected by a virus and in a glimpse you can neither retrieve or pass it to others.

Last semester I bought an Ebook text book for one of my classes. I was thrilled with it. The book would have cost $200 in the bookstore, but cost me $90 in the ebook version. Plus it was easier to find information. I could type in what I wanted to find and within a second what I was looking for was on the page. Also, the book weighed over ten pounds and having it as an ebook made it about 1 pound. Plus I have over 180 books on my Kindle and it is so light and easy to carry. What I do with my text books is find out what I need for the class and then check Amazon and other book selling sites. I have been able to find books at a fraction of what I would pay on campus. I remember buying a business law book for $5 (with free shipping) and it cost $175 in the bookstore. I was embarrassed to admit it. I check Amazon, Ebay, and any of the text book sites. I usually save about 90% on my text books for the semester. I would go with the tablet. I love mine (my boyfriend bought me the Kindle Fire for Christmas so I have both the Kindle and the Fire to use.) It saves money, it saves trees and it saves tons of weight on your shoulders.

hi, i htink i like anything for books, if its online or realy books or just papers copies i mean, they are so nice to read, i like the ebooks on the pc as the screen is colored and nice to read but hwen my eyes get tired i like to use the other books the hard copy or the real one as you says, i like all the books not really big difference but only the real books do not hurt the eys as it is with the pc lights and so on, and in general there is not really a lot choices to read books but that or this one

I would say that you should go for the hard book as reading from the hard book version is very comfortable than the e-book as it tends to strain our eyes more as compared to the hard copy version.I have tried this and found that when i am reading from the laptop then i was able to read 7 to 8 pages continuously and then my eyes were strained too much.But when i was reading from the book i was able to read much more pages than the e-book.And the hard copy version can be sold for the 70% of the original price and the e-book is non refundable.

I find eBooks to be more economical than hard books. Economical in the sense they are portable, they cost less and they last much longer than normal books. Can you imagine how many eBooks would fit in a 500 GB hard disk? Now imagine storing all those books in a book shelf. I think you would need a whole house to store them. If I have to decide between buying an eBook and a normal book I will go for the eBook every time.

To the up to the up of the I think that both ebook and conventional book has their own positives and negatives but since you have got tablet pc so in my view you should opt for ebook since you need not carry book with you all the time getting rid of its cost and weight ……….. Hare Krishna Ganesh

Nine times out of ten for leisure I would go for a regular book but for a textbook, I like the ebooks. For the simple reason is that I would rather slice off my own hands than to tediously look up information. I think my mind was tailor made for searching through things in a more technologically based way. And I'll be honest, it does free up a lot of space. It does rather agitate me when I have a stack of books and no way to get rid of them. Especially when you get caught in the turnover when schools change their textbooks, thus you have to be quick to sell them. So ebooks are for me for educational proposes. Because I can easily search things and given that I am going to be taking notes on a computer file anyway, that was just the easier solution. I did enjoy that when it was offered. I cringed when there was no ebook offered during my school career. Ebooks are the option that I would highly recommend, for ease of use if nothing else when it all boils down to everything.

Ebook is good then actual book my friend. there is on weight of Ebook. and if you having tablet then it's very good. no need to carry big and heavy book and no need to pay heavy rent for that. i am also use Ebook for reading, because we can find find anything on the spot.

Yeah if it will save you a lot of money you should go with the ebook. Saving money is always a plus in my book. It is seems that going that route would be the best all the way around. I hope that whatever you decide to do it will work out best.

Hello deaconroyal and everyone. I believe that ebooks and tablets are very useful for study, to learn, so on. But... I prefer to read paper books. Is more relaxing. I know that on the screen most of the people have problems with eyes. I have not. I can read many hours on the screen without any problem. I think the main problem is with the speed of information. Our brains and budies are not constructed to run in a very fast way like machines. We are not robots to input tausands of pages from e-books. We have to learn deep, to understand deep the meaning of the words, informations. So, is not important how much do you read or how fast. Is very important how deep. If you will read fast you can't understand deep an information. That is the reason why is very important to read slowly , in peace, to write by hand on paper notebook. Same time you are right. Using technology you ca do more things, cheaper and fast, but ... like a machine. I am a very good typist, I use computers from more then 15 years and now I miss something lovely. ... I think ebooks, computers, tablets, internet, makes us to became like robots, machines. So try to take a break, to think slowly time to time, and deep. A very good paper book is a very good friend for me. Same time I wish to have a tablet with tausands of book to be able to study, to learn fast. I think for students ebooks and tablets are very important and useful. For life paper book are more important. Again, to understand deeper anything you have to read and listen slowly, not very fast. And a good paper book is like a very good friend. When you look at it is like when you are with a friend. On the kindle.. you are like with a robot with tausands information on it.
