Recent news in Technology is that Ebooks and digital readers will soon be the new 'book'. Now for all the bookworms out their - please note that I am one - would you agree with me saying that you'd prefer to read out of a paper book, filled with pages? Rather than off of a computer screen?

I personally hate reading off of computers screens, and I know I'm contradicting myself by saying that, as I am typing off a computer at the moment. Though I do see advantages, one being people who don't like reading books may swing for a digital book as its off of a screen? It would be cheaper though it wouldn't be as convenient as taking a book to bed with you, instead it'd be a gadget.

I'd love to hear peoples views on this, I feel that there could be a lot of debate in the near future about this piece of technology.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I think I love my books to much to care about even trying an Ebook. Thats like the Gala bingo wizz, i think its called that, instead of having fun dabbing your tickets, you mark them off on an electronic computer.
