I prefer books except for travel when I need all the space I can get so I use e-books then. Reply #41. Jul 27 13, 2:23 PM |

Pdfs or e-books will never substitute the feeling of touching, writing notes even smelling good old books. Reply #42. Oct 19 13, 10:20 PM |

Books are superior to the internet. Books have editors. Any fool can post on the internet (and many do). Reply #43. Nov 27 13, 11:41 AM |

I use the internet when I need to know or check something quickly. For the pure enjoyment of reading a well written story it is a book every time. Reply #44. Jan 18 14, 11:18 AM |

The internet is wonderful for research and shopping, but for the pure joy of reading, nothing can replace a book you can hold in your hands while snuggled up with a blanket in a comfy chair. Reply #45. Jan 18 14, 12:53 PM |

I prefer books and, so far, have done a darned good job of ignoring my Kindle. Reply #48. Oct 10 14, 8:13 AM |

One good thing about ebooks is that they can be updated and edited much more easily than print books. So for reference materials they are probably better. But for reading pleasure, I much prefer print books. Reply #49. Oct 10 14, 10:00 AM |

While I love books and generally would prefer to read in paper, the Internet offers the ability to allow me to change fonts and contrast so I can read more easily with my limited eyesight. So, I guess I will have to go with the Internet. Reply #50. Jun 02 15, 6:54 PM |

The internet is faster when I haven't much time but you can't beat the pleasure of a good book. Reply #51. Jul 24 15, 10:42 PM |

I finally loaded up the Kindle with classics. There are days when holding a book open is more than I can manage. Change fonts and contrast? Hmmmmm......interesting! Reply #53. Jul 27 15, 8:40 AM |

Browsing around a book shop and finding a good book you didn't previously know about is a pleasure and helps live authors. You can't get quite the same experience on the internet. It tends to bring up recommendations for you, rather than you browsing randomly. Reply #58. Sep 23 17, 8:22 AM |

If you love Classics, reading or downloading them free from the internet is the best of both worlds. Reply #60. Sep 23 17, 12:04 PM |
