in the past,we just can find informations by reading a book.for some people collecting books is an interesting hobby..now is the internet era, we can find anything in our browser, so many ebooks and articles we can find there, so what do you prefer? book or internet?

If I find a book I love, I want to own a physical copy of it, but I am in love with the internet too.

Actually I combine them. I know it is hard to believe but sometimes you can find information in printed form that is not on the internet. I use both for my blogs and I use both all the time. I do hope books and libraries are around for along time. There is something wonderful about the smell of musty old books in a library and browsing through the stacks looking for that certain book.

internet is a good information resource... well paper bound books are still better for novels and reading when you are also travelling. internet is also good but you have to be connected or be online. but ebooks are good, hehe

For collective information that I want keep to use over and over I will buy the book. If it is information just floating around on the net that I would use over and over I will download it and print it. To just read fiction I still buy the book or check them out at the library. I enjoy books so much. And if you take a paperback to the beach you don't have to worry about getting a little sand on it but if you take your Kindle and get sand on it you might end up with a real problem.

Both. I like to read books when I felt like I want to relax. It keeps me focused. While I associate internet with multi-tasking like reading while chatting:)

I prefer reading actual books because they don't have the glare which we can get when reading for prolonged hours over the internet. :) BUT! Since a lot of books are now available for downloading online and I can't wit to read some titles, I go ahead and download them especially when I know I'll be fine without the books on my shelves. I invest on books and those I really like, I save for... But once in a while, it's nice to get things for free. :)
