    Call me old fashioned but still havn't develop the habit of reading big books on the computer. Just reading one or two are ok. but if its over 30 pages. I take printouts and then read it in my free time. If I get any that is :D

    I prefer to print them as well, but will suffer through reading it on the computer if it is a huge ebook.

    I think the sentences for a screen should be short. Reading Ebooks should be boring
    I prefer reading books...

    I read e-book by opening in computer. It is good for me. Printing and studying will take much time. So I practiced like that.

    When I'm lazy, I will print everything out so that I can read while lying on my bed. It will also put less strain on the eyes staring at the screen and scrolling through the pages.

    Yes, I read all eBooks I receive on my computer. I only print out the ones that I feel I'll be referring back to, such as books describing fundamentals.

    I love reading e-books off my computer. I would print a hard copy of the e-book and then read it.

    No. It kills my eyes. I usually just print them all out then read it.

    If the ebooks are internet/computer related I read them in the laptop. If it is a "normal" book I can't, nothing like a real book.

    Depending on the book I will read them. Especially for reports and assignments I will use a lot of books to assist me in my work. eBooks are a great way to quickly find what you are looking for.
