    Yes I do, very often. They are available on the net, so everybody can get them for cheap or even for free.

    I don't. I find it very hard to read an ebook. I like to take a book in paper and read it... Ebooks suck. My eyes hurt afterwards. :D

    Usually I'll scan through the first few pages, if it's good then I'll surely read on up till the end.

    Yeah man.....
    I found E-books more intresting than a regular text book...

    It takes some getting used to but I can read through them in small sections. I'm mainly into non-fiction books so I usually just skim through and read the interesting parts.

    I am very surprised to know that neither of the people have read ebooks on mobile.
    Its my advice to all of you.
    If u have a mobile with symbian OS. Do give it a try.
    Get any novel in ebook format and read it from your mobile.
    You will love it, as do i

    I have this thing for paper books.. Nothing quite gives me the same pleasure of sitting outside in nice weather book firmly planted in my hands, turning pages.

    Then again, I stare at 2 screens all day at work, the last thing I want to do is continue starring at a screen for enjoyment value :p

    Yeah, I read them.
    Sometimes I print them out.
    Most I read on screen with the help of a speed reading program. Once you get used to it, it's a lot faster and comprehension is at least as good as reading normal books.

    I'm addicted to downloading and collecting them, because I like the idea of reading them and absorbing that information, but then it usually turns out to be too time consuming to actually go through with it. I probably read 1/100th of the ebooks i download. Literally.
