Apparently, you'll remember the content better if you read from the hard copy. nossy Send a noteboard - 05/09/2014 12:36:30 AM

View original postTo think I was feeling like I spent too much by purchasing ebook versions of Cryptonomicon and the first Hyperion Cantos book. Of course for me it's mainly the question of whether it was worth buying them in ebook version. Reading on my kindle makes everything incredibly easy and convenient, but I get so much enjoyment out of seeing physical books on my shelves that I just don't know what the right decision would be.

So I suppose it depends how much it matters to you.
