Size counts

[power]

My biggest problem with using an ereader is that I find it a bit disorienting, not being able to "see" or "feel" how far through the book I've gotten, and how much is left to go. I know you can sort of see that with the page numbers and/or % read... but it's just not the same as a physical book!

I find the page numbers and % satisfying enough and still able to get a feel for the book.

Books are the utmost, the paramount! However, I recommend ebooks for all "trial" books. I will always have my beloved books in paperback or hardcover, but all new books or discussion books will be on my Kindle. After all, I'm not made of money and ebooks are cheaper. If I love it, I will eventually add it to my real book collection

It does not. My boyfriend tried to make me exhausted by giving me Dean R. Koontz 's whispers, thinking I would have hard time reading a "thick" book since my average book sizes usually end around 250 pages and i finish them in a matter of days. I surprisingly finished the "thick" book in a weekend when I was down with a cold. I think regardless of what I use pc or paperback it depends on the used language and the author more than the size of the book.

Reading on a kindle or iPad is a completely different world to me. While I can't physically see how much I've gotten through the book, I can see the page numbers or percentage. But the page numbers on an e-reader obviously do not correlate to pages in a real book which always frustrates me.

I agree as convenient as it is to read online, I prefer a book so I know how far I have gone

I actually like that about ebooks. They have that sense of potentially being neverending, a journey without a finish line. That's especially if you pick a great book and you don't want it to end.

It isn't the same, but I haven't had any issues with it. The page numbers/ percentage are satisfying enough for me.

[Bluecobia]

I read both and have listened to recorded books. I can get the sense of progress in any of them . I like the feel of real books best but ebooks are easier to read in poor lighting.

[Betelhem Demsie]

That's a unique feeling that you only get from real books. There are some features in ebooks that show where you are, but nothing replaces the real books.

I find that I tend to read faster with online/e-book formats for this very reason. The progression is out of sight and out of mind. Unless you’re really honing in on that percentage or those page numbers, it’s a lot easier to lose track of how far you’ve gone without the visual reminder of seeing the thickness of the pages shift from one side to the other.
