Do you like reading paper back books or kindle books?
« on: October 16, 2015, 06:28:51 pm »
I read more magazines than books and I do not do much reading online, it bothers my eyes most of the time.

Either...it depends...but I have heard that memory retention is better with paperbacks

I prefer paperback books. I like the smell and feel of books, though I still own a kindle and enjoy it as well.
I'll always love tangible books.

I like reading books or magazines much better than on a computer.

I read news articles etc online, but prefer paper books over kindle-type.

I am afraid my great-grandson's generation won't read paper books, because there is no light, no buttons, no apps etc. 

A lot of kids are already addicted to the electronics.  Instead of learning through investigating, research, investigation in the real world there is just accepting what is on an electronic tool.

Even electronic conversations with someone in the same room....what a shame!

I still prefer books over kindles. Since I'm on a laptop a lot for school, I actually enjoy the break my eyes get from a non electronic reading.

I agree! I work so much on the computer/laptop that it's nice to read a paperback. I got a kindle as a gift a few years ago and have read a few books with it but prefer a paperback.

I prefer reading a book vs. the kindle. Hopefully in the future libraries won't be a thing of the past.

I don't think I will ever like reading Kindle books.  I'm too old school.  I absolutely love the feel of a paper back book in my hands, the older, the better. The look, feel, and touch of a physical book is all part of the reading experience.  And while we're at it, I miss the card catalog in the library!!!!!
