Can A Programmer Survive On Ebooks Alone? by kambo(m): 7:15am On Jun 22, 2013
Except one is usg a device purpose made 4 readg ebooks, it gets uncomfortable readg continuosly on a pc/laptop /phone.
Then i thnk its easier to read a paper book more thoroughly thn an ebook.
Some books cant b found in e format esp the high quality texts..
Readg on a puter is wasteful, cuz those times shud b spent wrkg (programmg etc), it cost electricity (nepa/gen/batteries neglible 4 som readers.)
So in d long run to grow one must eventually build up a library of paper backs. It seems inescapable eventually. Programming isnt cheap afterall.

its best to read on your laptop, why?

cos when u read something cool, u might quickly want to try it out. you mite also set a quiz around what u have read. If u read only print books, everything would look like theory.

But then again, if u do not have access to constant electricity then you can read print materials.

Also most books u will get will be ebooks (free).

no, ebooks help but i think having the hard copy of the ebook u re reading helps too. Especially, here in naija where electricity is erratic, so wen light goes off, one can easily switch to the hard copy.
