I love them. It took me a long time to start reading e-books because I didn't want to give up my hardcover books, but now I love them.

I like regular books but e-books are great when traveling and reading on the computer.

I prefer physical books but I think ebooks are definitely more practical at times. If I’m traveling it helps not to have to carry a lot of heavy books with me just in case I end up doing nothing but reading the whole time and need some emergency books!

Ebooks are books for this century.So long as you have smartphone you can access them anywhere in the world.If you don't have money,you can access many free ebook sites unlike the hardcopy ones,which can't be moved from one place to another and you have to get cash to own one

I like e-books. I have tons of those in my phone. I don't a reading device like kindle but sure, someday I would love get it. But my love for physical books is infinity. If I'm rich enough, I would read the e-book version first then I will buy the physical version to re-read it!

I agree with @Alissa Nesson on this one. I find traditional books good while reading at home, but ebooks are far more convenient to carry around, say, if you have to read on a commute to work.
