    I prefer real books, I like holding them & turning the pages.
    But I do have some "eBooks" AKA I downloaded the PDF of a book I wanted to check out to see if it was good or not online.

    I definitely prefer real books, but after moving a few times with the gigantic collection I have now - it hurts to buy anything other than ebooks. Also - libraries rule for that reason

    Real books read and smell better. The only form of eBook that I like are audiobooks

    i like real books. if i look at art/picture books, its much more fulfilling than an online compilation of art.

    my dilemma is that i focus better when i read from a physical book, but those are expensive for uni so i end up reading half of what i'm supposed to for class because i can't focus on the free electronic scans of stuff

    Particularly I much prefer a book. I can not read through the computer screen. I get tired incredibly easy when I try to read an ebook!

    I prefer real books over ebooks for multiple reasons.

    1) For reading comprehension, I find it much easier to be attentive to a book that is in my hands than an ebook. This goes for texts books, or literature for leisure. When we get documents at school in a PDF, I have to print it off, which brings me to my next point . . .

    2) I prefer to be able to physically highlight, underline and draw/write in the margins of my textbooks. With law school, it makes things easier imo. Although a search feature is nice in ebooks, I like having everything highlighted, underlined, tabbed, etc.

    3) Battery life of tech dwindles over time and just bleh I would rather not deal with that.

    4) Reading in the sun is much more fun with a book than with my iPad (I know some devices have special settings for the sun but idk if my iPad does and idc)

    5) I feel like I'm ranting now lmao
