    I read more ebooks, but printed in paper... xD!

    Love my Epson R290 with continuous inkjet system.

    Give me your opinion!

    I prefer real books. I've always loved books, actually holding them in my hands.
    I too like to print out ebooks to have a hardcopy :)

    I mainly read ebooks now. I have a Sony Ebook reader, the Pocket Edition. Before I got it, I was worried I would miss having physical books, but I dont! I love the fact that no matter where I go I have my entire book collection with me. Also, a flood in our basement ended up destroying almost all of my physical book collection, but I don't have to worry about my digital collection, as long as I keep it backed up.

    I read real books more often then ebooks. Mainly because I'm studying but I really like to read good ebooks because they help me get ideas on how to market things online etc. :)

    I prefer real books to ebooks, I still can't get used to reading books on a screen.

    To clarify, I really dislike reading e-books on the computer screen. It bothers my eyes after a while. I only prefer reading ebooks on an actual e-book reader. As far as looks and eye strain, it really is no different from reading a regular book.

    its relly unnecessary to print the e copy , in that wast we people waste the ink , paper and power for just reading the paper and throwing out.
    its better to read those stuff in laptop's or LCD monitors with the low intensity .
    we should adjust the monitor as if like a paper brightness

    Books are more relaxing . Besides most e-books are ripoffs from real books .

    Still got too many actual books lying around for me to read for me to be able to justify an ebook reader etc so currently on the normal books. Plus you can always read them in the sun! No glare

    I like reading, and I prefer real books. When I get a real book, I usually finish it as soon as possible. As for the ebook, I've download it for several months, just finished several pages. I really don't like to read on the computer.

    Personally I only read ebooks. I'm so addicted to it that one day I was searching for one ebook for hours... only to find out the book I was finding did not even have an eBook version. Then I suddenly realized that PaperBook still exists. lol
