I ebooks better for reading already. Physical books advantage is that I can read inside them in bookstore - bookstores are much better for me when I looking for something new.

But I prefer actual reading on the phone.

Are you reading, or are you studying? When reading my phone is great. When I want to study though I will want to take notes, compare tables on different pages and other such things that my phone doesn't work for.

  • I actually prefer ebook for both - including for studying. If the book I want to study requires larger screen, I prefer notebook. I never wrote into books, if I am taking notes it is on paper and sometimes electronically (with keyboard).

    For comparing tables, I prefer laptop.

      Really?? What ereader do you use? How are you taking notes (that you would be able to retrieve later in a reasonable manner), using the index, etc? I've wanted for years to switch to electronic books for nonfiction that I want to learn from, but software for reading feels so bad for this purpose.
