I completely agree with you about the fact that the computer is more efficient that the other books' versions: I mean about practicality in learning or in work in general. However the paper book is the only way of reading if you really want to enjoy a real book. So, according to me, tablet, kindle and the rest of them, could be considered a sort of meeting point, even if they will always be my last choice.TheSheep wrote:I can see why reading on the computer is efficient, but it offers functions that isn't readily available through books, nooks, etc. For instance, copying and pasting or being able to easily define a word. But for me, i'm just unable to read on the computer...it's probably just personal taste but when it comes to reading leisurely it has to be an actual physical book. However, i usually do most of my academic reading (i.e. articles) on the computer, so in that sense it really depends on what i'm reading something for...leisure vs. school/research.
