I am reading a book while lying and slowly.
I personally prefer a book over an Ebook.
Simply because I like to "feel" the book in my hands, it looks better, and I like the paper smell... I don't know, it just feels more natural.
When we read, we are still. We get comfortable. Most people sit while reading. Our bodies do not carry any special movements, they rest. The breathing slows down. We calm down. We imagine ourselves the worlds or situations described by words in the book. While reading we cannot think of other tasks or worries. Because of all this reasons reading does reduce stress.
Printed books
The feel of paper: For some people, this is a very important factor. For avid readers, holding a book in hand, the smell of the paper, nice binding and flipping through pages is a beautiful feeling which lacks in a digital device. Also, it feels great to always have a book nearby, no matter if you read it or not.

Book reading
Sharing the books: You can share a printed book with any friend or colleague whereas paid ebooks (from online stores like kindle store) can be used with one account only. That means you cannot share purchased ebooks with a friend without sharing your account credentials. This is one very important factor in the debate of ebooks vs printed books.

hi there! It’s great site. so many topics and opinions. I used to read, basically https://www.washingtonpos*****m but now your site one of my favorites. Thank you!
Illustrations and images: Printed books are great when it comes to displaying images and illustrations. whereas ebook readers are not so good at this. Along with this, ebook readers support the black and white display, not colored. So the genres of photography, cooking etc are more successful as print books.

I have ebook but if I like a book very much I always try to get a physical copy of it.
In my personal opinion Ebooks are much better due to the portability.
