Where do you prefer to read electronic books or printed books and why?
Printed books because I can take them anywhere without having to worry about batteries, blowing sands, water by the beach, and/or lighting conditions.
For printed books and e-books more reading is at home and sometimes in the library for my obligation to do my homework ...
Greetings
Most readers prefer paper books, because they satisfy their sense of reading, by touching the paper and navigate between pages, writing notes on both sides of the page, all this enters the reader in the atmosphere of the book, unlike e-books that you might feel with it, you're reading an article on the site, just read fast and fleeting, you can not write notes only rarely, Vkulaila find an electronic version of the book, allows to add amendments or comments on them, you are forced to write notes paper external, what makes reading something really fatigued, and can be considered just a quick read can not learn with or notation observations and ideas about the book... A real sense of reading
The possibility of easily exchange : Of the differences between the paper book and e-book, the paper book allows you to exchange books, one of the things interesting to the readers, to pay your friend a book, in the interest of you to be conversant with the subject he is talking about this book, or because you know that this novel Stjbh and perhaps you borrow from him a book you like, so is the world of readers even if they are friends, exchange of knowledge of the basic traits.
I do prefer the tactile and visual sides of a printed book,especially something unusual or rare,but as with recorded music,having a digital copy,readable on your smartphone,is something you can take anywhere,and read at any free moment,without having to carry a physical book around with you.
I like to have several books on the go at any one time,and digital media make that easy for me.
On the tactile and visual aspects,I mentioned digital Vs analogue media for recorded music,and few would argue against the enjoyment to be had from a full sized album cover compared with a CD jewel case or download,but again....convenience.
You will focus on the book only : Of the most important things that make paper book better, is that when you start reading a book, focusing not only in the book says, unlike e-books you read from your tablet or phone or even a computer, you'll find all the minutes notice from Facebook, or perhaps an email urgent, or tweet what draws your attention, all this reduces your concentration, and you out of the situation that prevailed with the book, and after another notice of closing the book and go to browse social networking sites or doing anything other than reading
Comfortable for the eye : Also, from the differences between the paper and the e-book, the paper book is comfortable to the eye, read at any time without a problem, unlike the e-book, which may cause you headaches and strain your eyes, because of light from the tablet or phone, especially if your field on Internet, or sit in front of the computer a long time, after you finish the work you will feel the rejection of everything that is electronic, because you want some change and comfort, do not want to sit in front of another screen that increases your fatigue
You can find it at any time : The most beautiful feeling you feel with the book is that you reach a stage where you feel like a friend, take it wherever you go, find it when you need it, just put it in your bag, accompany you throughout the day on your way and work. The e-book, though easy to carry, is not always available. You need to charge the battery for your tablet or mobile phone, charging may be unloaded in moments where you most need to read.
Dear Dr Anastas Ivanov Ivanov
I prefer pinted books.
Thanks for sharing this question.

Printed books because I can take them anywhere without having to worry about batteries, blowing sands, water by the beach, and/or lighting conditions.
I'm developing an eye problem from constant use of electronic gadgets. As a result, I prefer hard copy books if it's version is available instead of e-books.
I prefer printed books because I can modify/change/replace/underline words with pen though more convenient to use electronics especially mobile phone as mobile library.
For most of my life, I have used books as references and devoted my attention to peer-reviewed scientific journal articlies.
I prefer printed books , easier to read and i can save them for a long time
Printed one, am comfortable with them.

Printed Books reduce less strain or stress for our eyes, but e-books are to be used often.
I prefer printed books... I enjoy to have book in hand, turn page by page, mark pages by the book marker...
I tried to read electronic books, but it is different feeling - challenges for battery, stress for eyes, light on screen,....
I think it is a matter of individual preference. Personally, I prefer reading Electronic Books.

Thank you for your answers and really have increased our knowledge
Printed books. Readable and cannot easily destroy.provides more concentration to read and almost prints in mind ( easy to remember) . While reading printed books cognitive effort occur.
DR .Mohamed Mahdy, DR . Fares Aboushnaf, DR . vasudeva rao b.s,
Thanks for the answer correctly any researcher printed books either e-books easy to get
A printed book allows us to suspend reading easily, place a bookmark, fetch a glass of wine and resume reading, without concern for falling or lacking internet signal or the risk of not quickly finding the point at which we were doing reading. I do not think I'm ready yet to forget the "materiality" and the security of having the book, as a whole, at your fingertips! That's my opinion.
There is no doubt that most readers gather that the pleasure of reading paper is not matched by pleasure, and I am one of them ... But recently I began to take the electronic reading more than reading paper for several reasons, including:
1 - easy to quote and share others.
2 - easy to carry my library with me wherever I go.
3 - Quick access to the book (buy or download if it is free).
4 - easy to find the required paragraph or book required among thousands of books.
5 - Ease of searching the Internet while reading about an idea I did not understand in the book or wanted to know more about

DR . Djaafar Zemali
Your opinion of the true electronic books we can carry with us more than a million books and I am very willing to participate in the proposal with my greetings to you
Of course electronic books can carry with us more than a million books and be light weight and hand-held and cheap price and quick identification of phrases and sentences but there are some health problems or printed books are expensive and difficult to obtain the book and the weight of weight and I am very grateful to all participants in the proposal with greetings to you
Senior citizens like me prefer the print version. I seem to retain a larger proportion of the information read via print rather than electronic format.
Printed, only to eyes comfort. But, as today almost all information are electronic, I don't print and I even read electronic.
Dear Srini Vasan
I share the same opinion as yours! Cheers.
Dear Luaay Abdulwahid Shihab
Yes.
Both have advantages and there are certain times that I also need to take my notebook with all the books and materials I use to be a teacher. However, there are times when the printed book continues to attract me, mainly to relax and enjoy reading, and avoid damage to the vision, resulting from many hours subjected to the brightness of the equipment screen. Greetings!
DR . Osmar Antonio Bonzanini
Really your opinion is fundamental to many of the disadvantages and disadvantages of using e-books. I agree with you and greetings to you. I am very grateful for your answers.
DR . Nihada Ahmetovic
I agree with you and greetings to you.
Sometimes, it is easier to have access to electronic version of some materials when working with ones laptop.
DR . Srini Vasan , DR . Gilberto Thiago de Paula Costa, DR . Ajit kumar Roy, DR . Ajit kumar Roy,
thank you very much for answer I agree with you and my greetings to you and I am very grateful for your answers
I embrace the both the electronic and hard copy(printed) version of books. It really depends on method of utilizing each of them. Major disadvantage of e-copy include;
It may affect the person's eyes because of the intense focus on the laptop screen
You may also need electricity to use it among others.
Dear Luuay and colleages.
I have mixed sentiments about this matter. I like very much the printed books and find them more pleasurable to read than the ebooks. But because I travel 4 hs/day between my house, my office and my classroom in the university, I employ this time reading. To read in a ebook has some advantages too. I can consult a word in the dictionary in the same e-reader, I can use the search function to find a topic in the reading, and I can transport a lot of books into it. This is important when I finish the book that I was reading, because I have not to carry two or more paper books with me to select the following reading. Besides I can buy the following ebook directly from the reader. To buy a ebook is a litle cheaper and you do not have mail costs. However there are many books that are not available for ebook.
I prefer e books because it is ecofriendly (no paper, no tree cuttings), easy to keep, carry and any word we can find within moment, we can highlight text without damaging the quality. They are easy to share without loosing our copy which is not possible with printed books. We can store them in USB or any other device and take printout of the pages if required most.
Printed books have their individual benefits but I like ebooks more.
With regards
Dr. Mahendra

thank you very much for answer We have increased knowledge in your statements
DR . Guillermo Enrique Ramos
It is true that I agree with you and thank you for your answers
Looking at my old college textbooks, the highlighted words, creased spines, and folded page corners still reference the key aspects that are just as important now as they were then. My most used textbooks show wear from frequent use. Although buying a shiny new book is exciting for avid readers, one feature of real books is that they show age and imperfections with use. Well-used books have this human flawed quality that digital media cannot convey.
DR . Djaafar Zemali
I agree with you old printed books have a special taste
