Books - paper vs electronics?

Hello, I'm not really into making polls, so I'll make this as brief as possible.
What is your opinion on books? If you had the option to choose between an "e-book" or a simple printed version, what would it be? Why? In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of both printed and electronic books?
(When I say electronic books, it's nothing specific, it could be a kindle, or a simple file on your computer.)

Well, that's about it, feel free to discuss on the subject.

Thank you for your time,

paper books - approved since 80 a.d.

Paper books because its just another feeling than an e-book. ;)

This is a push up (if this is allowed). I'm going to use this data for one of my exams, so this is pretty important to me :D

Paper books - because electronic isn't so good as paper

I didn't ever think throughly about this, in my opinion there's some potential in electronic books, because you're able to save up amounts of books in 1 device (if I'm right), which is pretty cool. Paper books (especially the old ones) have "their own style" - you are able to read out some history in some points, it's more authentic. ;)

I don't really know what I'd prefer.

books > e-books

No books...

paper books :) !

I'm really happy with my Ebook. Good to take it around with me and when I finished my book I always have more than enough other books. And the reading is smooth like a real book. :)

Lol, internet PC better than little book ;o, I can't focus when I have to read a book, but on the net, omgaaaaah. I'm like advanced college entry level, and i'm only 16 :D

I like normal Books more than e-Books.

A Printed Book has the Little somerhing that an e-Book doesn't have.
Also you can get a headdache from reading an e-Book .
