Do you prefer having an item of reading in your hands? Or prefer it online? To be honest, I never had much of a high opinion on Digital Comics, cause I very much preferred havin' the real thing. Course after I started doing reviews. My opinion changed. Don't get me wrong though, I still enjoy havin' the psyhical *However you spell that* thing in my hands.



Anyways... Thoughts?
 
I'd prefer the real comics, but I'm liking the CBR Reader just fine. I don't think we have a comic book store. Well, we do, sorta. A graphic novel section at the bookstore but it's not very...it doesn't have a very big selection.

Have you tried a comic shop search online? And it sucks they don't have a big selection. They willing to do special orders?
 
It depends on what type of reading I am doing. If I am doing research, then I prefer to use a digital format. This way I can use search functionality to instantly find key words and segments. It also allows me to copy, paste segments. One of my pet peeves is when I need to manually type out quotes from a hard copy source. This of course is when the digital source is of good quality. If it is more interest reading, then I prefer to have the physical copy of what I am reading. So mostly I prefer the physical copy.

It's actually been a while since I last checked the graphic novels section, I'mma go back again. I know they have a lot of Walking Dead issues!
 
I dislike reading online. The screen hurts my eyes after a while and I just like holding a book and being able to turn the page and the sense of accomplishment when you finish a book
 
I don't mind either way, still, physical books have the advantage of working without power and being a lot more portable than my computer. On the other hand, this

doesn't happen to me, so I read quite a bit on my computer. With the added advantage of background music I can put on at the same time.
