I have a subdomain with my little ebooks on them they are free do you think free is good or is charging better?

Do you like ebooks or are you like my partner and would rather go to the library and get a real book?

Are they an effective marketing tool?

And how would you use them?

I prefer real books, but I find ebooks very useful for research when I can't get a hold of a copy. I wouldn't want to read a novel in electronic form...too impersonal and sterile.

  Oh god...you're one of those...
  
  I refuse even to read the blurb of a book...it always ruins something...same with films and tv shows.

I like eBooks, but it has to be a really good eBook for me to consider buying it. Free ones I don't mind, though.

That said, I'm planning on releasing some of my poetry in an eBook format on the Kindle, but mostly as an experiment.

They annoy me in general, but like SiuilARuin said, I will occasionally use them for research papers if the library doesn't have a hard copy.

Ebooks are great because well, erm, they are free. Okay, some of them anyway. Ebooks are too much for my eyes so I'd rather buy me a book.

Technology-wise it is good step.
For actual prolonged reading - I prefer real books.
