Checking it out or uploading it

I personally have a kindle and absolutely love it. That being said, an e reader is definitely a different experience that reading a book with paper pages. Each has it advantages and disadvantages. The paper has a feel, a sense, an e reader has a swipe. I like the feel of paper, the look of the ink and the smell of binding. Each has its own way of bookmarking a page. With an ereader you simply touch and a little bookmark appears on the screen. With paper, you fold back a page, or put a paper, cloth, ribbon, or leather between two pages to mark your spot. Each has a different look, sense and appeal Ereaders are lighter, you can have lots of book on a chip in your ereader where as books are heavier, clunkier and different shapes and sizes. With an ereader I just pull it out, press the on button and starting reading pages where as a book I grasp something bigger, chunkier and with different lines and features. Ereaders are faster, easier and very convenient but some how when reading a book you actually have more charm and can easier fall into the pages and lose yourself in the story.

It depends on who you are. Some people still prefer a book rather than reading it on a computer. Some people don't have the money for smartphones. Then there's people who love reading it on their phone or computer. Libraries and bookstores are still making plenty of money or they wouldn't be around.

I still enjoy doing both. I like to read books on the paperback side. Plus I like to read stuff online too. I just gotten an e book reader and like to upload stuff on it to read later too. I don't have a problem with doing both. I just like to read stuff when I have some free time available during the day.

Good topic. I was recently searching for the book "Fifty Shades of Grey". I wanted to get the book so badly. And I always want to feel the book in my hand. But i couldn't get it. So i searched in online if I can buy from there. But it was huge in demand and thats why was out of stock. Then I decided to read it online. It was amazing. The feeling of virtual book reading is something really different!!

Of course there are still people which will prefer reading the actual book in the library or which they bought from stores than reading an ebook version. For me, I still want to read the actual book, I only read ebooks online which I need for my studies so it'll be easier for me to search if I have question or need to apply it like on my programming.

Hi friend what ever technology comes the old tradition with definately rule this world.. I am having laptop tablet and smart phone but i use them to read news paper only but when it come to books or novels i wont prefer it mostly because my eye pains and i feel uncomfortable so i go to library only.. I saw so many of them goes to library and study mainly because of its silence and no distraction... so i feel still books in library has more weight-age then techonologies

I still read paper books, but mostly now I read on my nook. This has a lot to do with what is available where we live. We are about 30 miles from the nearest book store and our local library is very small with an even smaller selection. Not to mention we have only one vehicle and most days my husband has it for work. At least with my nook I am able to read frequently and have a never ending supply of books at my fingertips.

mostly i prefer to check the synopsis before i can even turn the page and most of the time,it is purely my interest like superman novels with more twists in the tale

It is one more way that technology has kept us "in the loop". With our tablets we can have information at our fingertips every where we go. I have not had a tablet yet but I think i would like one at least for my novels. I would read a lot more if I had one because it is light weight and I can take it everywhere. I would prefer this or an actual book because reading on the computer screen is sometimes hard since I will be distracted easily.

I haven't yet bought an ereader but it is definitely on my list. I cannot wait to get one.
