Paperback or Electronic books?

[djohnson43]

For me it is definitely paper back. I don't even have one of the electronic readers. I love the feel of a book in my hand!

call me old fashion but paperback for me

I read both.  As a librarian, I didn't think I would like an e-reader, but I got one for Christmas from my husband.  Turns out they are quite handy especially for reading in bed.  No external lighting needed.  And you can check out ebooks from your library....or buy them, of course.  They are cheaper than a regular hardcover.

yea I love reading from both as well, I love the feel of changing the page on my book but I love that my fingers don't get as dirty with my kindle.

Text Books are always the best choice unless you are a traveler!

I will say, though, that this book is fun reading hands on! (:

I like paperback because computer screens give me migraines after a while.

i like going to the library and getting books they are so friendly and besides it is free. Would hate to buy a book on one of the electronic gagets and find out i have read it.

E-book for me.

   I dont read to many books anymore!! but if I did I would prefer to read Paperback books over Electronic books, I spend enough time in front of my computer or tablet

I can't even decide which is better but I use both. I have a Kindle app on my ipad that just makes it soo easy to read, especially in the dark, lying in bed, easy to handle, and fast to purchase the book without making a trip to the store. But I will still also grab a book from the library if i see a good one and read it the 'old fashioned' way. Maybe because its free? lol. I like/ use both, id say equally 

electronic book s  are the future so i would have to choose them

Thank you so much for this topic - it is an ongoing discussion with my friends.
I love to read  and I love to read in bed.  And just about anywhere else.  Last time I went away I downloaded the book I was reading onto my iPad because it was a big heavy book and I didn't want to shlep it onto the airplane.
Well when I tried to read it on my iPad it just seemed so weird.  And I couldn't get into a comfortable position holding it in bed. And I missed using my special bookmark    And it's not something that I want to get used to either.  Couldn't wait to get home to my "real" book.
But a lot of my friends like them.  Go figure.
