Siince I started serious ebook reading there is no comparison. The smell and feel of a book is a good experience, but The ability to change Font size and Font wins hands down for me.
And... one of the elephants in the closet...SPACE more space in my flat for other things besides dead wood trees....and lastly availability I am not limited to the mall English market here in Japan via a chain store, Amazon.jp and can read heaps of free or cheaply priced books in English, Russian, Spanish etc... CHOICE.... The net wins in my corner of the world.
/QUOTE=Chi Cygni;1901154]I bought two paper books in 2011. I have not read them yet. One of them I have as ebook but in English so I bought paper one in my native language. Gathering dust on the shelf. I bought/downloaded over 50 ebooks this year and except 6 read them all. I was hesitating over hardback copy of "Agony and extasy" by Irving Stone but put it back even though I loved it when I read it first time (brick size, font size fixed etc) Will buy ebook when it comes out. Hopefully. So, mayhaps I will buy a paper book but will I ever read it?
