Real book or E-book?

[alicia45]

How do you like to read? Do you like the feel of a real book with paper pages or do you like to read on an e-reader?

[tennisgal]

I do like real books, but lately have been doing pretty much all of my reading on my Nook

Whoever votes for ebook is dead to me. Don't take my job away!

I can't seem to get into reading on an e-reader/tablet. I just can't. There's something about cracking the spine of a good book. I love the way it smells and when you turn the pages you can feel yourself getting further and further along in the book. I like how I don't have to have a cord or charge to read. There's just something simple about reading a paper book.

I now feel bad about reading a book that is paper.  Mostly if I read a paperback it's a book that four of us will read and I buy from the used bookstore..

Only on my Kindle! Real books annoy me these days.

I love reading real books. But, I live the ease of downloading a new book. Finish the first in the series...boom....start the next

Kindle. I only do real book if I rent from the library.

I haven't read a real book in a couple of years. I love my kindle.

Real books! I have my Mom's old kindle and I never use it to read. I tried downloading a couple books but just couldn't get into them. It probably didnt help that they were free classics. That was a problem in itself...they were boring. Anyway, I prefer real books because I like turning the pages and seeing how much I have read and what I have left.

I used to love real books and I still do but I can really power through e-books very quickly and I feel like I read way more now that I have a kindle. Plus, new books are cheaper and I can trade w/ friends. I love it.

I won't say I like reading from e-books better, it's more that I like the convenience better.

[EnchantedSoul]

Real books.

I still love a book even though we have three e readers. I much prefer the real version.

Real book because my kids always want to get their grimy hands on all my electronics.

[pinkpeony6210]

As an English teacher, I should always say real book.

BUT...I do love my kindle app, so I'm torn between the two.

[beelove]

Real books are by far my favorite (the feel, the smell). But sometimes I get impatient waiting for a book from the library and I end up buying it on my ipad. If it is a really heavy book I fear falling asleep and dropping it on my face...or the baby's face.

I like real books because I tend to fall asleep reading and I don't like getting smacked in the face with a kindle. But I love convenience of e-books.

[rainbowchip]

I prefer ebooks because it's more comfortable to read it. I read books for the story and don't care much about how it feels or smells. I also like that I don't have to go to the library and pick up a book I want to read and the books I buy are all right at my fingertips and I don't have to store them anywhere.

My only fear is that when the apocolypse happens, I won't be able to charge my nook and therefore will lose all of my books!

ebook for fiction, real book for reference type books I want to flip around in

[Beener]

Real books for life! I love having my bookshelves stocked and love turning pages.

I prefer real books, but I've been reading books on my phone more and more. I commute to/from work and carry too much crap to add a book into the mix.

[steph196]

REAL!! I will never get an e-reader. I love the smell of books and turning the pages makes me happy.

[greenkitty98]

I prefer real books. However, I use my Kindle on trips and camping, because it takes up less space.

[mumegs]

Ebooks....it's more comfortable to read them in bed. I can never get comfortable with a real book. Also it's so easy to get library books without even leaving my house!
And now I have another reason, the last 2 real books I got from the library Macy destroyed, she ripped the cover off of one and a whole chunk of pages out of the other one. Ebooks are safer.

Many libraries have lendable Kindle books these days too! You should check it out.

Real books! I have a Nook but I don't love it like a real book. I don't feel the same sense of escape,of getting lost in the book.

[thedahliharpa]

I have never read a e-book. I say I would hate it but hello I read 150 pages threads on ML on my phone so I probably wouldn't mind it too much.
