Ebook or paper book?

[Lturnbow78]

I enjoy e-books for their ease of use; but at the same time I still enjoy the feel of paper between my fingers that you can only get from the physical copies.

I like both. I actually prefer most books to be ebooks (no need to worry about space and dust that way) but I make sure to get my favorites in paper as I find it more cozy and romantic to hold a book in my hands while reading. It's just not the same reading from a screen, and having a machine between your hands or on the table while reading but as I said, I do like both thought.

I have had my ereaders, both a Nook and a Kindle plus a tablet and preferred "real" books. But, I was getting daily deals from Amazon for the Kindle and started using that more. I now prefer to use my ereaders. Plus, they are so much easier to take with you.

I am all for curling up with a good book to relax and escape from the day with. However, I have also become partial to ebooks in that I read more than one book at a time. My partiality to ebooks actually began with the fact I could take multiple books with me when traveling where It is easier to stick an ereader or tablet in my bag than books.

Have a Kindle and I love it , however there nothing like cuddling up in bed with a real book. Just the feel of comfort it brings back memories of being a kid and reading books. The Kindle is just more convenient i suppose to have and store more books.

Paper unless I wake up in the middle of the night, can't sleep, and don't want to turn the light on. Then it's my kindle.

I have read books in both formats; paper books and ebooks. In my opinion, paper books are better as they are tangible proof of the story you are reading. I also love their smell and the spines lined up on my bookshelf. If I had to choose, I would pick a paper book but I still read ebooks occasionally. The only disadvantage with paper books is that they are not so environmentally friendly which makes me feel a bit guilty sometimes.

A nice thing about ebooks is that you can have so many of them. I've had to get rid of books in the past because I needed to make space. It always made me a little sad, even if they weren't my favorite books ever. With ebooks, you never have that problem.

Paper book definitely: nothing beats the thrill of getting a book through the post or the smell of a brand new book! Not to mention all the amazing and gorgeous bookshops that are out there

I prefer ebooks because you can get so many without having to wait for them... but for starting a collection and bragging rights I prefer paper copy.

On busy days I like the readers because its less of a hassle and allows me to read intermittently throughout the day whenever I get those few precious moments in. But if I am going to be curling up in a blanket on a rainy night, the real thing is always the best.

I like ebooks because I can really read them anywhere and you have it on one thing (Kindle, Nook, PC) versus carrying around several books at a time. It really saves on space.

As much as I love paperbacks, I have to say ebooks. I have waaaaaay too many of those things and don't see a future where paperbacks will be coming back. As awesome as they are, they're just a waste of paper, a waste of space. I'm sorry books. I love you still. It costs twice as much for the paper copy of a book compared to the ebook copy. If you choose ebook copy, you don't have to wait for it to be delivered, it's instantly downloaded onto the e-reader of your choice, and you can immediately start reading it. No worrying about where I'm going to put all these books, how much money I'm spending on them, and Worrying about your gigantic book collection being damaged. E-readers are half the size of a book, and they'll save you money in the long run.

Ebook. I can take all my books with me anywhere I go. When traveling I don't have to try to predict what I will be in the mood to read.

I can read faster with my kindle that is for sure. But nothing beats the weight and presence of a real book. Vivid illustrations, and the smell of fresh paper are wonderful.
