I am a software engineer in an MNC. Its a pleasure to share my views with the interested audience through this site. Years have passed reading and reading and reading.
I have been reading since I was born - first in school, then engineering, then masters, then in job and it will continue ever. But the medium and the ways have changed in the course of time. E-Books are a fountain of knowledge. There's new and latest stuff always. They are not the same as the old paper books that remained the same years after years except few revisions after considerable time. Not only that, reading ebooks can be accompanied with some sort of simultaneous entertainment. e.g. if one gets tired of reading, he/she can enjoy games on the comp without having to do much effort. Its easy to make e-notes while the person is reading. However, the paper books have their own charm.
They help to make the reader more comfortable and more concentrated while he/she is reading. Paper books don't require the user to arrange for any resources, they are accessible by one and all. Even the software professionals don't like to work constantly on their machines, they often love to take print-outs of the material they wanna read. This prevents them from the harmful radiations of PC and helps them relax while they read. In a nutshell, the combo of ebooks and paper books serves the purpose best. It has be a mixed usage. None of them will have monopoly or be out of trend ever.
