Do you prefer E Book or Paper Book

Paper book, of course.
I don't feel comfortable reading the book on computer. It's not portable, and you have to read it by display what causes head aches. On the other hand, you can take paper book everywhere and read it as long as you want to (or rather as long as you can afford to).

Paper for me. However those kindle things look pretty cool so wouldn't mind having a try!

Paper.

To me using an E-reader is like poppin vitamin pills instead of grubbin some juicy fresh fruits. Same job, similar experience.

The content gets 99% weight and the form of the book gets 1% weight... really don't care that much.

Fran, Fran, Fran, so you went and did it eh. You tree hugger. I wonder how many tiny children had to slave over a hot electronics board so you can have your Kindle? Tsk tsk tsk.

Lol just kidding I'm finding hard to resist purchasing one myself but I think I may get an iPad if I can find any other reason than entertainment.

Paper book, absolutely! E-book makes me sick

Paper. But I do see a certain advantage to e-readers... my books are now stacked mostly horizontally on my many shelves, just to make a liiiiiiiittle more room.

I like the classic way of a book; I mean things should be left as they were in this sector

Where would we be if the chap who invented the bow & arrow had accepted the advise of those who advised him to leave things are they are & always were?
Mind you in terms of longterm sustainability the conventional paper book is still probably a better bet ... no recharging etc

i prefer ebook. you can use it anywhere and you can read it in dark places.

I prefer paper book because it stays for a longer time than e-books that there is a tendency that it might be corrupted from viruses.

I like either one, altho the feel of a paper book is more comforting but I can kick back in my recliner and read an e book on my laptop just as well.

I was raised with paper books ... so for me when I read ... means I read a paper book.
An e book is not considered reading ( though it is ) ... it is seating at the computer.

At home I would say paper and my iPad/eReader would never replace my paperback collection. However, for convenience at work and particularly on holiday, the eBook wins for me
