I believe that digital books are too volatile. Although I do read them, I prefer paper books. One software problem or physical damage to your device could cause you to lose all your books. The advantage of paper books is that they are more easily accessible on technology.

I enjoy e-books since I can't possibly destroy them by accident as well as the fact that I can read them on different devices. I can bring them with me with ruining the book by putting it in a backpack or bag. As much as I love a hardcover book, it's more convenient for me to have something I can read with having to have the book around me when I'm out somewhere. If I am at home, I'll appreciate my hardcovers and read them to enjoy the feeling of a real book.
The most extraordinary thing about those long-ago times was that privileged families were allowed to gain unfair advantage for their children, by paying to send them to the best schools with the best teachers and the best facilities.

My reading method doesn't favor paper or e-books, I read between the two interchangeably. My reading method includes audio books so while I'm doing chores or other mundane work I can always be learning something new (I typically listen to non-fiction books).

I prefer the traditional paper books. I love the smell of new books and flipping through the pages.

Skipping a couple words that are not important, so I get faster to the end. I don’t do this with reviews, but when I’m reading for fun then yes.

I really like reading paperback books. I'm not a huge fan of e-readers because they hurt my eyes.

I read both physical and kindle and I don't really notice it feels that different reading wise. Kindle has the benefit of being able to search for character names to see their first introduction. I hate reading on the PC screen or on my phone though. I just can't get into it.

I love reading paper back books when given the chance, but it is more convenient to have all of my books on my phone, where I can switch devices and pick up right where I left off. I also like that it doesn't take up more space in my home.
