E books and internet can never replace the traditional books. As said by some of the members, the pleasure of book reading is something which we can never get from internet data. Though internet reading saves time, printed materials can be read more comfortably and leisurely. Personally, I read only short articles in internet but for longer articles or books I prefer traditional printed materials and books.

Exactly...reading even very long articles online is quite exhaustive and causes strain on eyes. More than that, printed books are precious and irreplaceable and testimony to what we are as a part of human civilisation. With time old books form a part of inheritance and are passed from generation to generation as treasured heirloom pieces. Digital data can never take place of that!

I have an e book reader and an i pad. I found it uncomfortable to read E book. My Books are as precious as my life. Why should I permit someone to steal them and destroy them?

Books are always with you. That is why book is called your real friend.

You have rightly said that. In fact, when my grandfather passed away and we got his collections of books as inheritance, there were many books which are no longer available in the market.
