Personal opinion
Some people like to read books and magazines online, and others prefer traditional print so which way do you think is better reading the books and magazines on paper or reading books electronically like google books.
The problems most of us have with reading online is they have to boot their computer which takes a little time and they know that they will be distracted by some social networking site and end up reading something else other that they wanted to read. Also reading a book is a great break for people that are looking at a computer screen all day as the screen can be a little hard on your eyes after some hours surfing like many of us do all day especially bloggers.
Of course it is hard to curl up in bed with a laptop without it overheating unlike a magazine where you can just throw it to the side when you fall asleep reading it depending on the types of magazines they are, As we all know there are types of magazines that people like to read in bed which will not be discussed on this post.
There is also the Sony e book reader and Amazon Kindle maybe other Ebook readers which are more practical than carrying a laptop or netbook around with you everywhere. But what if falls and gets broken or even stolen thieves will steal an electronic device but rarely a book unless it’s the Book of Kells or something like that.
Your own opinion EBooks or Hardbacks ?
So which do you prefer do you go to the library or do you search google books for something to read or do you think Books are Books ,Paper or Print and do not really care as long as they can be read electronically or on paper.

Many pro and contra, book nowadays too expensive especially education book like engineering while student can find some of the articles freely through internet. PC bad for eyes and many have got the Astigmatisme due to light from pc screen while book no such thing. Pc,Tv and handphone screen can be cause of astigmatisme. Internet source of reading easy for sharing while book a little bit limited. Anyway to me book more comfortable to be read compare reading from internet.
Either way is fine with me, I’ll buy eBooks for my PC screen if I want to save money on the said book, or if I’m working with it – like reference material for my own writing or similar. In such use paper is just a nuisance.
For relaxing with a book – definitely paper. Those portable ebook readers are too pricey at the moment I think, but if I read a lot of fiction published electronically then they might be good.
I like either. I’m usually always sitting at the computer anyways, so I don’t mind it. Reading articles or ebooks is fine. I also buy a lot of paper books (don’t like hardback covers). I’m always reading and learning my craft. It’s a non-stop education. I just love to read. Doesn’t matter what it is. Oh, and I do like to look at the pretty pictures too! :)
I use both the methods and it always depends on the situation. Most of the cases you can find free or cheap ebooks and magazines online. You can easily copy and paste as well. But like you said there are lot of distractions.
paper books are better if you really need to study something in details. You can highlight underline and your eyes want get tired that easily.
