I really wanted the Kindle because carrying the Kindle helps to preserve my paperbacks from becoming ruined, earmarked, or torn, etc...sometimes my paperbacks would get stained, bent, ripped out, etc......I do find it much better to read with the Kindle!

Kindle does sound convenient, despite my impartiality for e-books. It also does look pretty neat. However, Kindle is not... How do you put it? Part of my region. I've got to get it from a third party who is in the region.luvmybooks619 wrote:I really do not see any difference in how fast I read both of them either! I do believe that I read both the same!

I don't read using the pc, but I understand how taxing sometimes reading electronically can be. My eyes feel like I read a whole paperback instead of a chapter or two of an e-book sometimes.fari30 wrote:I find both the same unless it’s on my PC, then I read faster in paperback, but other than that, it’s pretty much the same. Although, sometimes I get dizzy if I read electronically for too long and need to take a break.

Yes! There's just something about a paperback that makes you want to finish it as soon as possible. Gives you a sense of achievement, too, once you're done with a paperback. Reading an e-book seems more distant. Maybe that's why I take longer to read e-books.Abu+Ami wrote:paperback definitely
