I like using the kindle because I can download free ebooks from Amazon. 1200 and counting. :)

I read on my Kindle and I read paper books. One thing I like about kindle books is there is such a variety and you can even find some free ones that are pretty good if you really do some searching. I do still like paper books to.

Reading too long on the computer gives me terrible headaches, or else I would read by kindle, or any other tablet.   I read books, but for years now I listen to audiobooks, mostly when I am driving, multitasking whenever I can.    I love to read (or listen) to books.

I'd rather read an actual book. I like the feel and smell of a real book. Especially old books.

I do not own a kindle. I do have a eBooks app on my tablet so I get free books. I also do read actual books. Sometimes the actual book is more comfortable when snuggled on the couch.

Whenever I read books which is not too often,  I read actual books as I don't have a kindle and I have no desire for one.

I PREFER actual books, definitely.  I have to say, though, I really love having a kindle app on my phone.  When I'm in a waiting room, I don't have to worry if their magazine collection is cheesy, or if my wait is super long.  I can read (If, by chance, I don't have my kiddos with me!).  My YouVersion Bible app is nice, too, for church, because my kids can't pull on it and tear out pages.  I get so frustrated trying to keep my Bible out of their hands and steering them toward their more indestructible kids' Bible. So I almost never bring a print Bible with me to church, anymore.  I usually just keep my phone with me. While I totally resonate with Rory Gilmore always having a book on her person, and I usually do have one or two even beside my phone, it's nice not to have the weight of them all the time.  If I am at home, though, I'm usually reading a physical book.

I mostly read my kindle. I like reading normal books but then my fingers feel dirty.

I love books, always have, they're my friends and teachers.  I like to have a mass paperback to read at bedtime.  I have some I'm studying and marking (not textbooks).  I don't own a Kindle, but have wanted one since Oprah discovered them on her show.  I do have Kindle for Mac on my computer and have discovered some of the genealogy books that have been reprinted are available on Amazon as cheap e-books.  I downloaded many of them for free, before they got reprinted so those are PDF's on my computer.  I also borrow books from the library from time to time, but I haven't read all that I have at home so...  :heart: :glasses-nerdy:

When I am at home I usually like to read online that way I can change the font to a bigger size that I can read. But when I am not home I usually read out of the actual book. I don't have a tablet or kindle, etc etc.
