sevenpanda Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I created this thread just to see which one people prefer- I personally prefer books myself, I've never read an e-book and I don't think I will tbh.

SAAD80GB Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I prefer having a solid book in my hand. Don't feel a need for an e-reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunny Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 ebooks, love having choices when I am out on the train or travelling and not being restricted by space and weight limits of physical books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I've tried e-books and just do not like them. I like having the physical copy. It just doesn't feel right reading it off of the computer/kindle/phone. It will be physical form all the way for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoc87 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I like both but really starting to prefer the e-book. The e-book goes anywhere with me and I can have a selection to choose from wherever I am at like when I am at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydumbdude Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I like ebooks better but always buy a regular book when they are around the same price. Wish books came with digital copies like blurays. I get bored easily so I only finish about 2 books a year out of the 30 or so I buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nille Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I also prefer books. Never been much for e-books or audio books, ect. I like having a hard copy in my hands. This. I find it more relaxing to read then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunny Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) I'm not overly surprised at the preferences of people but I must be one of the rare people who prefer really from kindle than from paper. I find it easier to read. Edited November 1, 2012 by gunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrastas Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I like both equally. eBooks for one-time use and physical books for ones I really like and want to show off / read again. I read a lot so eBooks are awesome for me, most stuff I only read once and never touch it again. Not a fan of audiobooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmniZero Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Both are great. Id prefer E-books sine theyre cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringEagle23 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I always prefer regular books, as I don't think that spending money on digital media is as concrete as hard copies. Plus, the books look so much better in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerpentSeed Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I prefer real books but for school books that are huge, I'd get an E Book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGillies Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I like real books but e-books are just as good. In my family we have a kindle which is very good. But I just like seeing the books apron shelves and those are memories of what I have read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaxinator Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I've voted books. I never feel I really "own" digital stuff. I'm the same for films, games & music too. Much prefer a hard copy. Having said all that I really do love my Kindle and the convienience it offers. I'm currently re-reading all the classics. I'm basically going along my bookshelf, deciding which one to read and then getting the Kindle version from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes2K Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Turning actual pages is much more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKillEuu Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I prefer books only because I haven't used a ebook too much, but I can see myself preferring the ebook if I ever bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs_85 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Real Book for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psikorps Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Books. For two of the same reasons that Physical game disks are better than Digital. You are the real owner, you can resell it if you choose, or give it away. Plus you can show off your collection...My hardcover editions of J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, along side F.H's Dune also in Hardcover is much more impressive on my desk, than filed away somewhere in a e-reader.

bobsnotmyuncle Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 If it was just for texts and guides and stuff like that, then I would prefer an e-book. You can have them all on you at once and its lightweight. I just read for recreation though and could never casually read a book on a tablet of sorts. My bookcase/collection is probably one of the nicer things in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 For having a whole library that you can carry around with you, ebooks are the way to go. However, if you have a real book you don't have to worry about dropping it, getting it wet, getting sand in it, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espjh2 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 eBook convert. personally, so much easier to hold, very bright screen etc. makes it all better for me. I'm not fussed about not havign a hard copy for a 'collection' - im trying to clear up space in my house and recently gave away a whole heap of books~!

The soul of link Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I prefer regular books over e-books because you don't have to worry about your tablet or computer crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olex Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Prefer books. Because I'm old-school (old-fashioned). But I do own a e-book reader B&N Nook 1st generation model and Amazon Kindle. In the future books will become treasure for my children (descendant). Also started to collect all of the classics in every genre and best sellers of nowadays. Edited November 12, 2012 by olex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
