Buy or Online

[Inverted]

Hello. Should I buy communist related reading material or would it be best to just read them online?

Personally I perfer having a physical book to reading an e-document.

I would use a library if possible. You can't argue with free access.

However, if you want something always handy and in material form, it might be a good idea. Or try printing it out and binding it yourself.

Whatever fits your personal preferences and suits you financially; I personally both buy my books, and read the ones I don't have online, and save them to my database.

Same as scarlet hammer. I wouldn't buy them at bookshops though. Try searching second hand bookshops, ebay or socialsit oragnisations for them, it's far cheaper.

The internet is a brilliant vast resource, but I personally can't standing reading long texts online because it hurts my eyes.

Like MrDoom suggested, I print them off (at college because it's not my paper or ink :P ) and read them like that. Plus it helps, because you can highlight key points / make notes etc.

The ones I've bought have either been second hand or from 'Revolution Books', I've read parts of books online, and read one book from a library. buying the physical book is probably the best.

Thank you for your reply comrades.

Most of the stuff is online (www.marxists.org for example) yet it's also a matter of convenience and eyesight.

True it hurts my eyes if I read something thats tooo long online. You should try ebay or something or even try to find a second hand bookshop somewhere that sells used books! Sometimes libaries sell books too for cheap!
