I'm very passionate in reading books. I'm reading a book at least 3-5 times a month. Most of the time, I borrow books from our school library and from my close friends. I learned a lot from reading.
But since it was vacation and I can't go to our school library and I have the luxury of time to spend on the internet, I think that reading ebooks is a very good way to learn. Although I still prefer to read books, reading ebooks for a while can help a lot in satisfying my passion to read.
And just two night ago, I read for the first time an ebook. And I have a great time. It was entitled The Way of the Bow by Paulo Coelho

i visit the library every week to get new books (the old fashioned kind) but am planning to get an e reader at some point to get e books from the library. certain books that i want to get our of my local library can only be read in the ebook format, so i am planning to get a tablet soon. i expect things like that will get cheaper as the holidays approach.

I have read a few of them. As i have an online friends who writes and sells on amazon. So every now and then he sends me a copy of his writings. I actually prefer reading e books vs paper back books. have a great day there.

I do but only really for my university course,as a student I get access to a big collection of ebooks to use for research purposes.I use them quite regularly and wouldn't be able to afford to read so many books if I had to pay for them.Though if I am reading for pleasure I tend to buy proper books.Because I prefer reading them and I can always have access to them.The ebooks I have access to through university I will won't be able to access after I leave.I could keep my book collection for ever.

I read e-books very rarely. I like much more books in paper, its more comfortable to read. You can lie down and read, with e-books you need o be beside your computer. But also with modern technology as ipad, tablet computers you can do the same. So I think e-books has the future.

Hi, I also enjoy reading ebooks, and it has increased the amount of reading I do. I have just finished reading 'Cider with Rosei, which is an account of childhood in Somerset at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a beautifully written book which opened the door for me on a world that has now disappeared from memory.

Hey I also like Paulo Coelho and I began to like his books when I first read The Alchemist. Anyway, on to discussion, I have the Kindle app in my iPad so I loaded it up with lots of ebooks. I have John Grisham, Dan Brown and Nicolas Psarks' collection in thee plus other new authors of fictions in amazon. I also like reading the actual physical books and I still have them in my room.

Hi,
I have a virtual library on my HDD partition all 20GB of it, in PDF format, books covering almost all subject on the planet. How I managed to collect them I don't remember but it just accumulated there through years of online reading and saving them to my HDD if the opportunity permits. I like to browse the hard copies on the public library though, it is more comfortable reading them in any position, anyplace and anytime, power or no power.
