I have an iPad, and I think one of its best uses is as an ebook reader. eBooks are instantly available (don't have to order them), are cheap (sometimes free if you pirate them), are searchable, and you can carry literally hundreds or thousands in your computer and/or iPad and/or phone. On the other hand if there is a book that you need to read cover to cover and understand completely, or make notes in, or add lots of bookmarks, or refer to many many times, read on the bus etc. etc. then a physical book might be a better option.

I'm prefer traditional because it is more practical and simple :) but when I'm on my notebook, indeed, I prefer to read it inform of pdf. But I think, now ebook are becoming more and more practical, since there are a device like Ipad, that can make you read ebook like u read traditional book. You can flip between pages with your hand, mark it, read it while lies down, etc. The end of traditional book might be near, but now, I still prefer traditional book, but have larges collection of ebook :) Because is cheap.

i'm prefer the traditional book every time i go out i put my current book in my bag in the time that i have my ipod and fullof e-books .i;m also love the touching of the papers and i admire to have my own library.

it depends on where you will read the book.. If u are always on your desk on pc then it would be cheap and sensible to by an E-book..But If u want to read your book while you are waiting for the bus at the bus stop or put in your bag when u go out then you must buy a traditional book ;) Also I love to touch the papers of my book while reading :)

personally, I prefer the real traditional one, spending money worth it that's what I would do... :):)
