Re: Hard copy books V digital
But nothing can replace the smell of a newly printed book... I have some books I loved to read, I can remember the plot and my feelings about characters only by enjoying the smell of the book.

I'll always be a fan of real books compared to digital ones, but I certainly see the appeal of having digital copies.

I agree with you. I too prefer the hardcopy versionVivid_rainbow wrote: ↑20 Mar 2012, 08:10 Hi, i'm new to the forum. Just thought i'd make my first post about hard copy(i.e. real books) Versus the electronic types, notable those offered in either PDF or Kindle format. I honestly prefer the real thing, the look and touch of holding any book in your hand outweighs its electronic emotioneless counterpart. However over the last year or so I have started seeing the benefits of having a book in Kindle. For example i've just recently become dual Cisco certified and currently working towards my CCNP. The study books were about 800 pages long and big heavy hard back types. Having this on Kindle has really helped me save space and also I've found it actually easier to read. Probably because having such a lare book can be very cumbersome. Another benefit is it is kinder to resources in the sense that no paper is being used. No paper means less manufacturing costs which should result in a cheaper end product.
However I still believe that if you're reading a novel then the best format is in its original hard copy print or alternatively as an audio book. Study books in my opinion are better served in electronic format.
ANyone have any opinions on this topic, I look forward to hearing them
