eBooks or Paperbooks

[MilksAreUs]

What do you think is better, downloading the eBooks on the Apple/Android store, or holding a real paperbook, because alot of people wonder what they should do. What do you think?

Paperbooks, I bloody hate having to read a book on an electronic device. I know I read all the time with Habbo nd other sites, but I just can't read a book electronically it feels weird.

Ebooks, I've read a few ebooks recently and it's super convenient.

I can personally tell you, as a guy who loves to read novels (appart from my career related books and some other topics), that paper books are amazing, easy to handle and I store them just for the sake of reading them again and again.

You can't compare the feeling of reading a book with reading an ebook on electronic devices, the magic is lost immediately.
But... I still find ebooks handy and easier to obtain, store and share hehe; a friend of mine once lent me an Amazon Kindle, my eyes didn't get tired and the experience was good enough for me to bear it.

Reading on the computer, on the other hand, isn't pleasant at all due the amount of light my monitor irradiates, whenever I want or need to read a book on the computer I tend to lower the brightness and I can tell you, that still makes my eyes strain.

// Just for the note, I've read all Sherlock Holmes noves on my computer and my eyes are still suffering that lol, I remember reading those at full monitor brightness at 2 am in the morning.
