Nothing, and I repeat, absolutely nothing can replace the joy of actually holding a book in your hand and reading it. Oh I admit that ebooks are cheaper and more easily available as there are lots of websites offering free downloads, but I find that at the end of the day, it is possible to spend just so much time staring at the screen while reading an ebook. What with the many diseases associated with computers becoming an increased phenomenon, I would anyday take a book to bed, even risking dim night light.
On the plus side, u never have to get bowed down with the weight of ebooks and they are so much easily stored on the microchip. But honestly, if you are a true bookworm like me, what would you prefer as a birthday gift - a first edition of your all time favourite book in your hands or a CD version of the same?
Its just not the same, you know!
