ebooks are the same real books you purchase, only they are uploaded to the internet. some of them are already downloadable for free. If you are a reader, which flatform will you patronize?

I just love e books. i have i think four or five dvds of just ebooks. When it comes to learning any new software.. ebooks help a lot, because you just need to ALT TAB to look at the things you have to do and then do it on the software which you hav kept open. Unlike book which need to be opened and moved everytime. WEll book has its own advantage. Portability. Sorry ! ebook doesn have it. I mean you definitely can carry it in disk but u cannot read it. And one more thing about ebooks is.. ITS ABSOLUTELY FREE !

books are better than ebooks if you do not have a laptop. if you have a laptop then it is the same way using real books and ebooks. of late, i have started reading ebooks. they are quite cheaper and many can be found free. that is their real advantage over real books.

Real books are way better than ebooks ANYDAY. I like to chill out and read and I cant imagine doing that on my comp! Lying down in bed, on the train, on the dining table - even woith a laptop thats gonna be very difficult!

Big N-O. It has a sentimental value for me. I grew up with books. I grew up loving them. First, my fairy tales, my story books, my Nancy Drews, Hardy Boys, Bobbsey Twins, the sagas, the adventures, ... (long list, hehe, as if lang). Before I discovered GIMIK, I spent most of my free time reading a book.

e-books are the future of books and we have already come across many real books being converted to e-books. but i feel it cannot replace the ease of use and convenience that real books offer

book though ebooks or real both are beneficial. but reading books on bed this comfort is only from real books not from e-books
