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..
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.
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 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!

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.
