I like physical books when I have to go back and reference them later. For example when I have to write a book report. My mind can find the place in which I want to reread by knowing what part of a page it is on and how far through the book it was.

Ebooks are simply more convenient for school textbooks and the casual bedtime reading. At least here I can copy and paste the words into my notes.

Otherwise I do not read. Maybe once school is long over with.

Books without a shadow of a doubt. I had all my university books on my iPad for easier referencing though.

I read e-books from time to time, but it's only when I really have to. Paper books all the way. Wink

Physical books for sure, I like to own a physical copy and my eyes don't like e-books.

I read a lot on my iPad using the Kindle or Marvin app. Sometimes it’s easier to get an e book and their generally cheaper / do good deals. Although dependent on the author I’ll buy a physical book.

I like physical books, but I've never tried e-readers, only computers. Physical books are easier to focus on without getting distracted. When I read, I know I'm reading. I just associate screens with the ability to multitask. Maybe if a friend let me borrow an e-reader, I'd change my mind, though, because I don't really like having a lot of books around once I'm done with them.

Yeah I can't lie or hide - Google Books was the reason my Uni essays' references and Bibliographies looked so impressive... The joys of finding single sentences/quotes from books you'd never come across in person to make you seem that much smarter than you actually are. Lol

“People are continually pointing out to me the wretchedness of white people in order to console me for the wretchedness of blacks. But an itemized account of the American failure does not console me and it should not console anyone else. That hundreds of thousands of white people are living, in effect, no better than the "African Americans" is not a fact to be regarded with complacency. The social and moral bankruptcy suggested by this fact is of the bitterest, most terrifying kind.”

Books seem to legitimize what is being read. I discovered an old book and felt I had found a treasure.

I do prefer having the physical copy of the book. I love the smell of new books, being able to read through it and add it to my collection. I do have a kindle which is handy when I don't want to carry a book with me and for it's ease of getting the books you wanna read straight away, assuming they are available but it'll never beat having the book.

Personally I prefer audiobooks as usually I'm busy with work/paper work and the free time I have I like too enjoy grinding it out on the ironman.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested too;
