I'm a bookworm and eversince I discovered E-books I started to read on my smartphone. It is easier, I can read even when the lights are off, I can read anywhere. But sometimes I just miss the smell of good old books. How about you? Which one do you prefer?

I'm pretty much disorganized and I traveled a lot in the past. It was more convenient to have ebooks on my smartphone than bring hardbound books with me. But when I am home I still would like to read from an actual book.

I prefer both of them. It is because there are also advantage and disadvantage of books and ebooks. I sometimes choose a book if my eyes is hurting for too much reading in front of a computer, but I am also use ebook if I was doing something online and I want something to read, I just turn it to ebook and read it.

I used to prefer ebooks over traditional books. However, I find it exhausting to my eyes compared to reading real printed books. If you really want the portability of ebooks, I guess buying a kindle or barnes and nooble ebook reader is a good idea. Also, I just recently became aware that it's also illegal to download certain ebooks, unfortunately most ebooks that are being distributed online are being distributed without permission from the authors and publishers.

Books :) I have nothing against e-books and in fact I like some of their features, like it's easy to download them and as you said, you can read them in the dark. But I still like books better. I grew up with books so naturally right now books for me cannot be replaced by e-books.

That is a tough choice. I love both of them. The easy access of ebooks. But there is nothing like curling up in front of a warm fire with a good book on your lap and a big cup of hot cocoa. Yeah.

I prefer to read real books,but in fact I read E-books more.Because E-books got easier and didn't occupy space.It is the same feeling with me.E-books has many convenience,but we lose the smell of reading.
