The researcher may need the printed book more than his need for the book on the net. Kindly prefer the e-book or both.
may choose either I rely chose the printed book and sometimes electronic.
Thank you to all the participants in the answer.
I prefer the printed books. Maybe we can call it "the habits of the previous generation". Printed books, although they are expensive, are better protected. In my opininion, it is same case for the photos. I think the old printed photos are better memories.
Dear Dr-Maysoon ALI A-ALHadi
It is useful for me in electronic format and also in printed form
In digital form I see the advantage of having an electronic file, but my notes about its content I have to elaborate in Word and also save them as comments or observations to the text in question.
When I get the book in printed form on paper, I have an ancestral taste for it. Palpate and smell the hard covers or covers and quickly browse their content (which I can also do with the electronic or pdf format, but it is not the same sensation or the same taste). Finally, apart from the paragraphs that interest me, I make handwritten notes.

In a long text such as a book, it is easier for me to find passages that I remember but didn't mark at the time of reading or to skim through, looking for particular things. Flipping and riffling pages is easier than scrolling, and the problem with electronic word search is that I may not know all the relevant words or their synonyms, but I can easily recognize them as I skim and riffle.
I consider printed books more convinient for the health of my eyes and my entire body, although I resort to online versions for searching specific words or paragraphs I cannot accurately remember. In short, I use both even though the printed books more time than the online versions.
For me i dislike them . papers are more useful and more application,
Printed books are convenient to use in many ways...
1. Eye friendly
2. Easy to find anything related to the book without depending much on computer or electricity
3. Can mark the content easily for future use.
4. Many more.......
On the other hand, books from internet or e-books or soft copies have their own advantages in the present context for ease in searching with key words, sharing, transferring data, copying specific portions, transforming ideas from the content to other new areas easily, finding glossary through the online link quickly etc.
I like both.I am comfortable.
No conflict of intetest.
Both are essential undoubtedly.
Only because of the lackings of printed version book, i could not draw a model last night. I couldremember, from which book i studied but the book was not available to me.
And, seems to me, the emergency of internet is no need to be mentioned.
Regards
Both are useful, but I find printed books better than e-books as it hastens patience & concentration instead of frenetic haste, where ebooks may sometimes be strenuous to the eyes of the reader ....
Both ....but i would prefer to use internet / open access documents first as its quite speedy, user friendly, convinient and easy. Easy peasy limons squeezy 😊
Both obviously but would prefer open access publications and kindle books as less time consuming and speedy.
This depend on the generation you might belong to, if you from the old school you mat prefer book and the most current generation may prefer the internet the the middle generation may prefer both
Questions of this kind have already been asked.
I reply again as in the past: both, as long as they are useful for my activities.
I use the both. But printed books still allure me with their smell and designs. I cannot live without having them near me
I prefer well written and useful books.
Their form is not so important :-))

Internet materials !!!I am so used to moving away from books so can't read too much now (From books)
Digital versions have some benefits since computer is used mostly, but both are good For me.
كلاهما لهما دور في توفير مصادر البحث عند الحصول على المصدر المهم للبحث، لكن البعض يفضل المطبوع لتوفر فيه العديد من المزايا الإيجابية
I like physical books because they allow me a moment of relaxation when I leave my laptop and enjoy reading, with a cup of coffee. Digital books are useful to be low cost, easy storage in different electronic devices and exchange with other researchers, and can have a large collection at low cost. Based on this, recreational reading in physical and academic activities in digital for me.
For reading I have my own thinking , my own experience & for reading the book I also keep the same as valued in life . It is in this line I wish to prefer only a printed book .
This is my personal opinion
I prefer printed books, mostly. I’m not very fond of the format ebooks have taken. I like the traditional pages. Getting away from the laptop also helps me concentrate and focus. They’re some pdf books that maintain the same page formats as in printed books; those are OK as well, but nothing compares to physical pages.
I think digital books are the best and fastest spread and reach the reader.
For the first read I will prefer printed book. After that, to have quick search, I would like to have soft copy.
