i need books for my networking courses. Cisco and MS and Network Security books etc. I checked out the local shops where they give decent and reasonable discounts on IT books and stuff, but the collective cost still accumulates to beyond my preferred limit. Then I wondered, I can get ebooks from the net, and depending on the source, the included cd.

Now I am confused between the two. What do you guys prefer?

Ebooks. Easy to carry, multiple system and even console support. Works on both Mac's, PC's, and probably even Linux Distros. What's the loss? Wee, students can only gain from this.

I prefer holding aa book and reading it sometimes. Kinda like when I prefer reading manga in its book form...dunno why, I just like holding in my hands while reading.

@Meh..

I know what you mean. I really prefer the old school approach. But I guess ebooks are quickly replacing them. I still might get a book though.. at least one.

i fall asleep listening to audio books :/

could never tolerate them! plus they aint good for the books that i want!
