Many people like to read books and it's like their hobby and it's a good hobby because books are like our best friends from them we can learn many things and these won't leave you in any circumstances. With advancement of technology we have kindle and other ways to read books online but some people still prefer the old traditional way. Do you like Reading books online or the traditional way?

@Butterfingers It is. You can read books you might not be able to get a physical copy of, which is great.

I prefer the traditional way. I prefer being able to hold the book and it doesn't hurt my eyes as much.

Sorry to say I don't even read books online, offline reading books will be always my favourite as I can smell the book pages I love the smell of book pages

I usually prefer to read the old-fashioned way. I have read some online books as well, but I like physical books.

I honestly have tried both ways and it really boils down to personal preferences. I love the smell of books and the sound you hear when you turn the page but sometimes it’s a hassle to carry it. It adds weight to your bag so at times I would rather read on my phone so that its easy to bring out when I have nothing to do.

As a book writer I know what goes into writing and publishing a book---sure, today more money can be made with reading the book via the Internet but what a joy an author feels seeing someone reading their book. Plus holding book (or a newspaper) is a feeling you don't get holding a kindle in your hand!!
