I watched the Movie Pride and Prejudice and had chills with the kind of words the leading man used especially on the last part where he proposed to the leading lady, so i decided to read the book. I downloaded a free file from the internet, it was my first ebook experience, can't hardly finish reading it because i suddenly realized i don't like the reading experience i'm having..Not because of the story, but because i want to read it on a Printed Book..I am not really against the new technology, coz i know it really makes our lives easier, but i believe that my reading experience can be really enjoyable if i have it with a printed Book than in my Ipad..SO you guys, what do you prefer? ...

I agree that a book gives off a different feeling when we read it with the hard copy compared when reading it as a soft copy. But I learned to cope with that..knowing that I don't have much money to spare to buy some expensive books, I just download free ebooks online...however when I really liked the ebook, I would save up to buy the original book, so as to support the author and quench my need to re-read the good book over and over again. 
But honestly, I've read more ebook than hardcopies...

Haha.. That made me laugh.. I like this book so much i want to read it with the Hard copy..yeah you're right, there's a lot of free ebooks that we can download and it's really worth it since we don't have to spend too much..I prefer to read ebooks when i travel though,it provides the pleasure of reading even when we're traveling. But when i'm home i love it with hard copies, and when i don't have a good one, then I go to the net and download something that's nice and free.. hehe.. But a good Book, if you really love it, really is worth spending the box. =)

I have downloaded quite a lot of ebooks. However, most of the time I just read the printed books. I don't know why, perhaps this is my habit to read. I prefer to read from the printed books much more. And this is why today I still buy the books. I feel comfortable to read them. Nowadays there is a new library in my city and I have been there a few times. It is great since I can borrow books free of charge. The books are quite new and nice there.

That depends. I have books on my iPad and I still have the actual physical books from my favorite authors. It sort of serve as my collection. For convenience, I prefer the iPad because I can carry more than one book without putting to much weight on my purse.
