E-books or paper books. What do you prefer?
I need to write something, although I'm not good at writing essays. It was always a torture for me at school when a teacher asked us to describe something.
Well, as my life is connected with books I'd like to ask what kind of books you prefer: e-books or paper books? Why?
I prefer paper ones. They say, paper will disappear soon, computers will replace everything. But I disagree. It's such a pleasure to walk between the shelves in a bookshop, looking, touching, turning pages... Besides, books have nice smell. Then you bring your trophies home, find a suitable place for them in a bookcase... and can start reading. :))
In fact, I'd like to write more complicated sentences. I wonder how native speakers would describe the same idea. :))

Well I'll play devil's advocate here since everyone is going paper. I think digital is better when done properly. An e-book on a tablet allows me to take notes, look information up, search through the book, and a host of other features that I couldn't come close to matching with a paper book.
It takes some getting used to, but combine all the features with the amount of space you save not having books lying around everywhere and it's definitely a winner for me.

Paper books only!!! Perhaps e-books have some advantages (ok, I know they have) but in comparison with the paper ones those advantages don't count anymore. I agree with Oksana (:

Certainly paper books :) E-books hurt eyes. Also I like taking books in my hand and touch them etc.
