Print vs. e-books showdown

pewinternet:

In our recent report on the rise of e-reading, we asked people who read both print books and e-books in the past year which format they thought was better for a variety of situations. You tell us — If you’re a “dual-format reader,” when does print win out over e-books (and vice versa?) How have e-books changed your reading habits (if at all)?

  2. cavehominemuniuslibri answered: I read mostly ebooks and take my reader practically everywhere I go, the only exception are things like the pool or the beach, etc.
  3. pookascrayon answered: My Nook is definitely much better for traveling — an entire library in one small space. Still love my paper books, though.

  6. surreabral answered: Still prefer print for nonfiction - highlighting, margin notes, dog-eared quick reference. Those features are slowly improving in ebook
