There has long been a debate on which is better. I like both of them for various reasons.
I have an iPad and like to use that when I'm at home. I don't take it elsewhere because it's not really worth it. The space requirements for e-books is what draws me to them. The other thing I like about e-books is that I have a dictionary function that I can use in the book. Trivial, I know. I find that when I read a print book, I miss that. I know that there is the whole piracy aspect of e-books and I wish that there was a way to overcome that. My library:
I have tons of print books. I have a library, bookshelves in my room and I am still in need of more bookcases. I like to take print books to work because when I can read is sporadic sometimes and print books are just easier. You sometimes get a better feel of a print book than you do an e-book. Covers and other aspects don't always translate to e-books. The only drawback is they take up so much space.
The pictures are of my virtual library (my iPad) versus my actual library. Including the latest additions.
