I desire good content, regardless of the media - OK, I still prefer paper books a bit.

Books I'll only read on paper. I've no problem reading short stories or news articles online.

Im also a book only on paper person, havent got around to trying an e-book yet so cant compare but my instinct says i will always prefer the traditional kind.

Reading experience online strongly depends on the typographic education of the author... proper fonts, small paragraphs etc.

As for me I prefer to read books on paper. I think that e-books are soulless and there is no such book which could make the reader really happy. But it's only my opinion..

You lose a skill every time you use a piece of electronic equipment. With an e-book you lose two things: (1) physically turning a page and (2) instinctively knowing when you are nearing the end of a book.

If e-books are so gosh darn good why do they try so hard to emulate p-books?

That's an extraordinary assertion ... I've been driving for years at this stage I should have lost the ability to walk!
E-books are just another way of reading & by the way you gain the ability to click to move the pages forward & amazingly backwards.

I am wondering, what have ebooks ever done to you? While you have a point in a way, it's not like that ebooks would kill us or something.

Regular paper or e-book is cool with me. Either way is alright, but I think I slightly prefer paper.

Reading on something like an lcd screen or something sucks though.

Too fond of my bookshelf to make the step to a fully digitally kept book library. The concept just doesn't sound appealing to me, although I do see the benefits..

Paper is still my preferred medium, but I have made use of my iphone and ipad at work and on trips. I like the ebook medium for these uses because I am carrying my apple device anyway, and I don't know why but when "reading" your phone people are far less likely to interrupt me with "What are you reading?"
