English_Bob Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've never read an e-book. I like the idea, but how is reading on the screen for long periods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exploring Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I prefer old- fashioned way by reading paper books since I can hightlight and make note whatever I want to summarize.But, the disadvantage is that some books can be very heavy to carry though.Moreover, I feel less painful,once I get a chance to be way from computer screen from time to time.

bigKus Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I can spend whole day in Kinokuniya but last 20 min reading stuff from compi monitor. I read one Harry Potter book from internet but I had to printed out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetieBabie Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 both has pros and cons. i like either of them for different reasons. What surprises me is that their prices are about the same! The feel of flipping pages and the oldie smell of conventional printed book is irreplaceable, but capacity to keep them all in my house is limited, unless i was to live in a big mansion. With ebook reader, you could have the whole library with in your palm. Although it is wonderful to be able to search of what sentence you are looking for within seconds on electronic books, it required power. No electricity, no book. i wonder which one has better for keepsake longevity, paper or digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANNO Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 paper...better for your eyes, you can get a workout carrying the heavy thing around, and you can throw it at her when you are running low on beer :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustyjuggler Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 ebook for me.. Many advantages easy to buy walk around with 500 books in your pocket tap any word for instant dictionary definition highlighting and notes never lose a bookmark Half price magazines which include multimedia content and videos (think how much a imported magazine is in Thailand!!) You lose your reader you don't lose your books or content. (cloud/server syncing) Your whole school curriculum on a single device. Kinder to trees.. Cons: Needs power, but so does a ******* lightbulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_house Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I always take three or four books on holiday with me, even though they are heavy, and take up space. I have held out against buying an eReader on the grounds that at 6" on average, the screens are too small. I have finally relented, and ordered the Kindle 3, which gets good reviews. This should save me lugging a lot of weight. Imagine being able to carry a virtual library with you, on your travels. Sony has just announced three new models, including one with a 7" screen. Now I am wondering whether to cancel the Kindle, and wait for the Sony. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crustyjuggler Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've never read an e-book.I like the idea, but how is reading on the screen for long periods? How many hours do you sit in front of the computer reading? Tablet or readers have better definition than most comps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Since they (apple) have softened the look to make seem more natural on the ipad, Im more partial to e-readers. Still wont read an ebook on my phone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatty Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Thks Tonia... good for my e-Book research. It might be good for my next e-Book project and e-Learning project.... You guys, I need your comments seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damnam1 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 love to read the everyday stories, news and whatsoever on my screen. You just cant beat a book when it comes to a winter evening in front of the fireplace, a glass of red wine next to you. E-books are maybe stylish, but not all products that are lifestyle have real style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
