    Paper Books VS. E-books

    Which do you prefer to read?

    I usually do my reading with e-books.

    There's nothing like holding and flipping through the pages of a physical book.

    I still prefer paper books. No need to plug them in. :P

    In my time as a reader, I have read a whopping two e-books. It's not that I have anything against e-books. They're certainly easier to store and sometimes cheaper than the actual books. However, as a high schooler, I can't have my phone out (which is what I use to read on) during class like I can a book. So I tend to make much less progress in an e-book than an actual book. Plus, I really enjoy flipping the pages of a book and you can't get an e-book signed so.

    For novels and such I get paper books. For textbooks, I use ebooks. Much easier to carry around an iPad with books instead of a pile of heavy textbooks. And sometimes they are ridiculously cheaper...

    For novels I prefer paper books, as they're nicer to handle and just feel good. For non-fiction I use my Kindle so I can highlight and make notes.

    I love the convenience of ebooks, but nothing beats the feel of a paper book in your hand
    Everyone has a dream that fills their heart. A journey they must take. A destiny to fulfill. As close as your imagination exists a magical place, where wondrous creatures with incredible powers help make dreams come true. It's the world of Pokemon!!"

    Paper books, because they don't go low on battery, and reading paper books look much cooler than using a tablet :P

    As other people say: "Reading is staring on dead trees and hallucinating." (-:
