I like both. If I want to read and I don't have a new paper book, I can find and download an ebook

Yes, e-books have acquired the place of real books. I prefer paperbacks. I always love to touch and feel the book while I read.

E-books are great. I love them but hardcovers are preferablee. E-books have helped me a lot, though.

E- books are great because it exposes alot of talent out there and creates lots of opportunities. It is for this reason that I prefer them. I can read just about everything!

I used to swear to paper books, but with the ebooks, I can highlight different ideas in different colors and find those notes quickly. I'm a changed woman!

They're a cheaper and easier way for readers to get books. It is also easier for readers to share ebooks despite being in different geographical areas.

I prefer to read a physical book but don't mind e-books. I think e-books are more convenient as you can have the book on your phone and read anytime.

The good thing about ebook is that besides being free, it is convenient. You can have it with you anytime and that makes it easy for you to read.

I love ebooks ! I prefer the regular ole paperback of course. But ebooks are a lot more convenient and easy to carry around. It's also not difficult to switch over to another book midway when I feel like it

I prefer traditional books, but since I can only get free ebooks online than real books, I often read ebooks.

I still like paper books, but I would do one of the readers (Kindle or Sony) before I read books on my PC.

E-Books are extremely useful. You don’t have to carry a heavy book with you and you can just buy and read a book with a click of a button.

I don't use them at all. I can't read an entire book on my computer, and the cheesy business ebooks that people put out about making money online and the like are not books in my mind

I like the idea of e-books but personally i love spending hours in book shops and picking up everything that sounds interesting and then whittling it down to a couple (i have to be strict with myself or my house will be filled with books!!) i've found some great reads but doing just that.
