Paper Books for random-access Technical Reference.
Electronic Books for General 'Beginning-to-End', or 'Story-Telling' reading.
In general, though most books can be either paper or electronic depending on personal convenience at the time. It's not a 'Black and White', 'One Thing or the Other' choice. Both formats are as good as the other if need be.
I use both. "Works for Me."
- anigbrowl 2y agoWeird, I have the exact opposite preference. I do like looking things up in paper reference books, but a lot of the time I remember context well enough that I can type a key phrase and have it instantly. I prefer learning from paper, so if it's a scientific paper that's too complex/deep to just skim and longer than 10-15 pages I'll often print it. Reading for pleasure on the other hand, I will only do on paper. The physicality of the book, down to the wrinkles and texture of the paper, are part of the enjoyment.
