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.

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.
