View Full Version : Books: Paper or Electronic

I've tried reading a book using the new-fangled electronic readers...I can't concentrate after awhile and lose interest...I pick up a "real" book and can get lost for hours..

Maybe it's the years that I have used paper books or that they feel more familiar in my hand...I don't know...nor do I care..I just like to read an old fashioned book anytime of the day or night.

I don't have that problem with reading the news or short articles on the web but give me a real book...please!

I prefer reading books on my Sony PSP or Amazon Kindle. The Kindle totally kicks ass.

While I think the electronic reader things are a cool idea I don't think they could replace actually holiding a book for me.

I thought that until I used a Kindle. Fuck paper

Never tried the kindle or anything to that effect but I just can't imagine enjoying it. I like having the book in hand. Plus I hate trees and/or the environment.

Ouch. I'm in publishing, the printing side, so I gotta go with the actual book.


How about magazines and newspapers? That's what I'm in.

I was quite properous as a printer for 16 years. Until it was murdered by technology. The printing market cant be 25% of what it was in the 80's, and 90's

I do like to read my local Sunday paper, but the info can be dated compared to the internet.

As a wise man once said(I believe it was James Norton) reading is for queers.

If I read my books on a kindle how will the other train riders know what I'm reading?? I like to be seen holding books.


Really, I'm considering the Nook - I just want to try it out to see if I can stare at the screen for the length of time I'm on the train. An Hour.

while i like real books, there are times the e-books rule.

I'm reading now a book that's over 1000 pages; it would be a pain to carry that around on train.

I have never tried a reader but I have tried reading a book on a computer and did not like it.
