eBooks vs. hard copy books

ok so the title says it all, which one do you think is better? eBooks or hard copy books? (and reffering to eBooks as reading a book on your computer, an eBook reader, or your phone)

be creative into backing up which one is better.

have fun!!

I like hard copy books because if your computer gets hacked, they won't be deleted.

yea, well i have a eBook reader, its a nook, and its really handy and the books are cheaper

I agree. And don't you lose where you last left off on the computer? Or the ebook reader thing,or ipod, whatever?

I prefer Hardcovers because they are of more value and you're actuattly getting the print rather than some 10110110 code.

hardcover because if the power ever goes out bye bye ebook and what is still there by the candle light? you guessed it, the hardcover book is still there if the power goes out.

Ya thank you i just thought I lose power some times because of storms and i dought that the ebook would still work then.

I definately like hardcovers for all the reasons that have been said, and if you stare at a screen for hours on end, it really hurts your eyes.

Although, my friend has a kindle, and it's actually quite nice. It has a protective screen so it's like reading a book, not reading off a screen. It runs on batteries, so it'll still be there when the electricity goes out, books are only up to $3, you don't have to take up a bunch of room when going on trips, and you can put notes in the text to remind you of something later, and then erase them if you don't need/want it anymore. You can take you're whole library with you; it stores up to about 1,500 books, I think.

Cool! I think I will look up some stuff on that. It sounds nice. I might just save up my money for it . Is the name of it kindle???
