Do you read eBooks? I prefer paper books for whatever reason. The Kindle is interested because of the screen, but repurchasing books (plus the price of the unit itself) is an issue...

I have read a few eBooks; but they were free to print off...so I printed them first. Does that count?

Can't stand them. Everything just seems better if I have a hard copy in front of me. Nothing seems to go in if I'm reading off of a screen.

no, i cant do it either, there's something about a computer screen thats just so distracting. it's probably because i can do anything i want on it and it reminds me of work

I don't generally read books or articles of much length on the computer. I print them out or buy a hard copy. When I was working on my masters degree I consumed copious quantities of scrap paper printing out journal articles that I found online.

If I took the time to read ebooks on screen, then when would I find the time to post???
