I prefer scrolling since it is a bit quicker in pdfs and downloads .

I've tried the scrolling method and it didn't work for me. As it is I love physical books much more than e-books and the page-turning mode, makes it feel more like a book to me. The scrolling method feels like I'm just reading a random document, even if the book is interesting, it just doesn't feel right to me.

When I use the Kindle app on my phone I use the scrolling mode, but on my Kindle I use the page turning mode.

Page turner for sure. I hate scrolling. I am mostly reading digitally and recently even started reading on Kindle app rather than just Kindle, but I still need that feel of turning a page.

Turning pages is far more convenient to me that scrolling. Most especially while reading in a not too convenient position. So i find it easier to turn than scrolling.

I am a notetaker when I read. It helps me to reflect on what I have read and write a short review when I am finished. So, I guess I am a page-turner.

Page turning is so easy though! Besides it helps me concentrate on what I'm reading instead of scrolling down and spoiling whats going to happen, as I've been known to do with scrolling books. lol

, it depends on the app I'm using. If I'm using kindle or ibooks, I love turning the pages but if I'm reading a PDF on my computer, then I love to scroll.
