Books Vs Ebooks (12)
Just wondering what people prefer, i love my ipad with all books that i have purchased but starting to find reading on a ipad is slow and i get distracted easy with other apps like email, stats, twitter etc...
Normal books are great too as i can read them whilst taking a shit or where ever with out access to emails, apps etc disturbing me, plus can lend them to friends
So i just been on amazon and bought a load books i have struggled to finish on the ipad as hard copies which made me wonder
Is it just me, or do you lot prefer real books instead of ebooks
I do a large amount of my reading on the stationary bike at the gym. I hop on it to warm up and before I know it 45 minutes have gone by and I got a nice warmup so I can lift heavy without injury. This is on a 4.3" Android phone and I have no problem reading entire book PDFs. I recently read the whole book Outliers on it. Just saying maybe it's not the device. 
Maybe you should try...
not srs 
books all day err day, i hate reading shit on a screen plus i love just sitting down with a book sans distractions
I can't seem to read text on paper anymore. It's gotta be digital or my ADHD child inside comes out to play.
I hate reading on back lit screens like the iPad or iPhone for a long time.
However I find it very easy to read from my kindle. It's small / light and doesn't put any strain on the eyes since it uses e-ink.
Give it a go.
+1 for Kindle (the e-ink one, not the fire), in my opinion it's the best of both worlds.
It's just great if you are on a long trip, you can literally take 1000 books with you.
another vote for kindle.
i do miss having physical books though. i am one of those people who constantly flip back and forward and like making notes and annotations in the book while i read.
to get over that i always keep a notebook handy when i'm reading and take notes.
yeah everything has to be digital for me.. i tend to skim a lot to look for what I need
If all the text in a book is the same font size, I tend to fall asleep
I use both, but for preference I tend to like having reference material in paper form. It's much easier to flip back and forward through a paper book, dive off to consult another one whilst still having the first one open, etc.
Having said that, ebooks win on the space front. I read fast, so if I'm trying to learn something I'll usually buy the top 3-4 books on the subject and read them all. Do that a bunch of times a year and the storage space starts to become a problem...

There's something satisfying about paper in the hand. Plus I like the smell, and the arrival of Amazon boxes...
