Which do you read faster - an e-book or paperback?

[Hadiqa]

I tend to read ebook faster as compared to paperback. Besides, most of the books I like are not available at my country so I download the ebooks and read them on my iPad

[jadecowan]

I read faster on an E-book but I miss the feel of a book so I will dabble between the two of them.

I definitely read an actual book faster. Even though I like reading on my tablet or phone, there is nothing that can beat the feel of a real book in my hands. Also with the actual book, I never have to worry about it freezing up or saying low battery , or even worse, dying. I also don't have to worry about little notifications popping up like they do on my tablet or phone. When I have the actual book I feel like I can get lost in it more.

It's definitely paperbacks. My eyesight is only getting worse with eBooks I have -5 myopia and I am only twenty one. So I prefer paperbacks. I actually can't enjoy a book when I read it in e-format, not compared to the paper-ones

I get to distracted with e-books, paper back Is the best. and its not the same when you don't have the book physically in your hands. less convient because you have books all over, plus of having a n e-reader is that you don't have that in convience of having books all over but then you have the possibility of having your purchased books being lost. so I would rather have paper back

I always preferred paperback till now. Recently I read an eBook and realized eBooks are not so bad. In fact i liked them since i can easily read them lying down and before sleeping without turning the lights on.

I have discovered that as long as there is no break in the format of the e books, I can read it just as quickly as I read a paperback. But then again I was reading Harlequin romance novels in 4th grade with a dictionary nearby for words I did not know so I am not your normal reader.

Definitely Ebook But my reading speed on Paperbacks is not bad considering 250 pages in one day

[Lazaszeret39]

I read either or but e-books tend to give me mild headaches just like reading off of a computer if I do it for too long verse reading an actual paperback book.

I don't notice any difference in my reading pace on a e-reader versus print. What I do notice though is that my eyes tend to get tired more quickly reading on the e-reader. I think this might be because I'm on a computer for my job most of the day and my eyes need a break from the screen and it's computerized lighting. But I'm not sure... so I tend to take longer to complete an e-book than a print book, but it's only because I need to rest my eyes, not because I'm reading slower.

I read e books faster, it feels like I can get engulfed in the story much quicker and within a few days or hours sometimes I'm done.

[Poe_vs_King]

I'm a fan of paperbacks, I feel that with a physical book in your hands you get the feeling of progress as the pages turn and you can see yourself getting to the end. In an e-book all you get are numbers. Plus I never understood needing a $x00 gadget that can beak or run out of battery when a book can be just a few bucks and can be used 24/7.

[lolripops]

I think I find that I read faster on ebooks because the (my) screen is larger than a normal book's page and therefore the screen can fit more words on ITS page.

Paperbacks. When I can see how much more of the book I have to read, I am motivated to keep reading. Even when e-books have page numbers, I don't get the same sense of knowing how much further I have to go to get to the end of the book.

[SequesteredLeo]

Definitely a paperback. I can get into them more, but I still love ereading because it's more convenient when you're on the go.
