Recently, I have downloaded ebooks like crazy. I found a nice trick where I can download some book titles for absolutely free. I also get lucky that some sellers have a ebook that sells absolutely less compared to the normal price tag of a book. And no shipping! Yay! And at least, don’t have to pay that shipping fee.
Although I am having the satisfaction of finally reading the book and own as a digital copy, I am somewhat still missing the experience when reading an actual book. I just hope that my local bookstore will have something hidden in a stack somewhere. As much as I like ebook (and hunting for them), I guess the old, traditional book has a permanent place in my reading lifestyle.

On the bright side, trees sacrificed their lives in able for you to read a piece of literature. Ebooks are good for mother nature. It will cause less demand for papers. soon illegal logging will be a thing of the past.Also you will have less clutter in your house. That are the positive things about preferring ebooks. I love reading ebooks while listening to their audio book version. Its a unique reading experience.

for me ebooks are the way to go,as much as I love books I cannot afford the high costs of novels these days so all i do is download them from some sources(for free of course!) and I sit in a quite corner and read it on my DS lite which gives me the feel of holding a book as well,sometimes I feel guilty that I am cheating the authors off their money so whenever I have my birthday I get at least one of his/her books even though I have read them
