EBook or Hardcopy?

[Emilia Sieminska]

I used to be against ebooks, but recently discovered how convenient they actually are. Now I love both

[Dishita Tomer]

hardcopy just feels better to read for me.

[Susan Gibbs]

I understand that technology evolves and ebooks are really convenient, but I still prefer an old fashioned paperback or hardcover book! Nothing like turning proper pages!

[Inge van Tonder]

Technology makes everything easier. It is much easier to read a book on your phone. You also get free ebooks which is always a bonus. But I must say that if I had a hard copy of the books I read, I would enjoy it much more! I love the old school hard copy books.

[Cris90]

I am much more in favor of ebooks nowadays than I used to. I try not to buy any more paperbacks/hardcovers unless I can't find them as ebooks or at the library.

[Kidd Essence]

The vast majority of books I read are eBooks, but I would certainly choose a paperback or hardcover any day!

[Saumya_1]

being a gen z, I should probably be more on the ebook side but due to the fact that I grew reading physical books I can't get over the feeling you get when you complete a book and put it in your shelf. It feels like i have just won a war or something like that. So yeah physical books over ebooks. Although ebooks are easier to carry, so you'll see me more with a Kindle than with my book outside my house

In today’s modernization, people often are used to reading in Ebook rather than in hardcopy. I’m one of them as it’s much more convenient and quick. We can as well find free ebooks.

[Matthew Little]

I love the convenience of an ebook, especially because I can access them both on my ereader and my phone! So I always have a book with me wherever I go. Plus, I can highlight any word to look up its definition which is very convenient

Honestly, I'd take an e-book any day. I feel I can read them faster and still be as engaged wherever I am. With a hard copy, even though they are my first love, there's always someone staring from whichever corner of the room, straining their eyes to see what I'm reading and I feel that takes away from the moment unless they want to discuss it. With my busy life e-books have become the better option.

[Preye I]

Hardcopy all the way. I only ever use technology to read because this website depends on it. But I would choose hardcopy each time.

[Helen Akoth]

Nowadays I prefer ebooks to hardcopy. They also have a longer shelf life than hardcopy.

[Matlhodi Nozwayo]

If I was asked a year ago I would've given a definite no to ebooks. But online learning forced me to adjust and made me actually like ebooks a bit more. I still prefer my hardcopies but I am not complaining about ebooks either.

[Ayomikun Babalola]

Hardcopy always. Hardcopies do feel like their going exctint. It may be just a natural progression since the invention of ebooks. They're portables you don't need to hide the cover of a particularly steamy book. But overall it is sad.

[Faatimah Noormahomed]

I love both, but if I had to pick I'd probably go with ebooks. Simply because they are so so convenient, you can have all your ebooks in one place, it's easy to travel with them, and I feel like I read a lot faster with them too. Obviously there are downsides, for example, you don't get the feel of reading an actual book, but I think you get used to that after a while
