    I have a big collection of books in my shelf,neatly displayed ,which catch the eye of anybody who enters my house!
    I love hardbooks as E-books are not going to help my eyes in long run!
    Dont want to trouble my eyes,will carry the hard books for the same reason!!!!!

    hardbooks for fictions and normal reading

    and for recipes and other practical books, i prefer e-books as it has the advantage of "search" option :)

    quite lazy in running through pages. While in MBA, i preferred soft copy of books for this simple reason. Moreover, it was available free of cost. :)

    Cheers

    Even thought i dont have much space to get hard books, i end up buying and whenever i read a book, i love the smell of freshly printed crisp pages...!

    Ebooks are convenient and at times i have ended up printing some of them! ! :) (I know all ecologists are frowning at me! )

    :)

    Hi
    I am happy to read hard copy.
    I would like to underline my favorite sentences.
    I put some leaves in the books.

    Sometimes, I read through ebooks also comfortable because lot of benefits. (search the meaning and references easily, like this….)
    ebooks has main advantage is reduce the carrying baggage.

    :)Both of them are good as per our convenient.

    Thank you.

    Wow.. it's always been a question in my mind as well.
    I use both equally and conveniently and I don't know which side to take.

    I do have a good collection of books in my shelf. And I do have a huuuge collection of ebooks be it technical or non technical. Storage wise ebooks win over the other. But as someone has already mentioned the look of a nicely arranged book shelf itslef a good feeling :)

    So what am I saying?? I still don't know what do I prefer as long as I like what I'm reading it doesn't really matter much to me..

    cheers,
    Ani

    If I am at home and bring a wonderful book from bookshelf, it is good, I prefer a paperbook.

    But if I want to read romances, textbooks (especially when travelling e. g. by train) the e-book is more practical in my opinion. In addition to e-books are cheaper.
    I love my kindle :)

    Great thread coolblues!! :thumbsup

    I think a real book wins hands down! The feel of touch, the smell of the pages, sitting on a couch with a mug of coffee, some snacks and reading our favorite novel can never be replaced by an e-novel :)
