Where do you stand on ebooks vs. physical books for learning?

    Physical books for the win. I like to collect them. But I often miss books

    Doesn’t matter if ebook or physical, for me books are bad for learning. Especially if it’s about programming.

    Both are fine but recently I feel like I’ve rediscovered paper books. By having the physical item, it has been easier for me to pick it up and go read for an hour before sleeping. With e books, i have harder time sleeping due to the fact that I’m looking at a screen.

    Unfortunately, book reading has stopped since I graduated. I wish I could read Books, especially the Hard Cover Books

    Depends. Normally I prefer physical books because it helps me to focus. The ritual of taking the book, finding the page and line, also fully switching the context/environment of current 'task' helps a lot to focus.

    On the other hand, physical books have 3 major shortcomings:
    - they don't have a ctrl+f
    - you can't have your book everywhere with you [you'll forget it or find it inconvenient to lug it around]
    - they need external lighting and a dry, calm environment

    Recently I read 2 DB-related books and I think I learned the content quite well. Then again, I also made a full context switch, bcz I was mostly reading on my phone while rocking my lil one to sleep [also not smth I'd prolly do with a physical one...].

    Somehow reading ebooks on computer doesn't do it for me.

    Both ebooks and physical books have their advantages. While physical books offer a tactile experience, ebooks provide convenience and accessibility. For well-written digital content, Ebook Writers UK can craft engaging and informative materials suited for effective learning.

    Both, in my opinion, have significant learning advantages in their respective fields.

    @hillolivia your answer is probably AI generated. Why?
