    I prefer paperback over ebooks so I don't have to sit in front of the computer.

    I've read a boatload of business and real estate books. My favorites are Richest Man in Babylon, Rich Dad Poor Dad (who hasnt read this? Really.), anything by Robert G. Allen, and others.

    Yeah, the internet has somewhat replaced the need for books.

    But i usually find books to be easier to use, more informative and reliable than most online sources.

    And Rich dad Poor dad is a must read.

    NO to paperbacks/hardbacks! I hate flipping through the pages... it gives me a headache everytime. How I wish our school stopped requiring us to read those tangible books. Give us e-books instead! :mad:

    Some people get headaches and eye aches from staring at computer screen for too long.
