I prefer reading a book :fish:

I like both!
I didn't think I would like using an e-reader, but my husband bought me a kindle fire hd anyway for Christmas this year and I love it!
I still would never give up my real, paper books, but it's nice to have a portable, lightweight tablet that has tons of books loaded on it too.
Plus, I can play games, check my email or surf the web on my Kindle too.

I still do both. I am a student and read the regular books for class. I purchased my Kindle Fire in January of 2012. I love it. My King James Large Print Edition of the Holy Bible is on there. While I am in church and the scriptures are called out, I can go to it, touch it and the page jumps up. I think that is fantastic!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

My daughter loves her Kindle, but I still do not have one. I still love a real book. Besides, I have been in so many book clubs in past years that give free books to join that I have a whole library of books I have not even tackled.
-
I use both. Right now I have read everything I have on my Nook. I am reading a paperback book right now and have several more to read after I finish this one.
-
I don't have a kindle but I still prefer a book with real pages.
-
Most all of my reading is done on the computer, but if I was to read a book (yea right) I think that I would prefer an actual book, I spend enough time stairing at screens
-
I Use both but I mostly use my tablet to read stuff.
-
I use to be all about the actual book but I read one on my tablet a few months back and now I look to read it that way!
-
I would prefer to read an actual book. I spend many hours looking at a computer screen, that I should take what opportunity I have to not do so. If I want to look up something really quick, then I would prefer a digital book.

I personally like a physical book. I bought my wife the kindle two Christmas's ago and she has gone crazy with it, In less than 2 years I think she has ordered about 200 books. I created a monster. She used to be a book person herself until she got the Kindle. She is now addicted.

I've actually started reading most of my books from Google Play... What I really like about it is a) I can read the book from any of my devices connected to my Google Play account (so my phone, my Nook tablet that I converted to using an Android OS, and any computer / laptop logging into the Google Play website) and b) because I usually am carrying my phone, I can read it essentially anywhere that I am. However I've also got several books from garage sales etc. that I'll have to read out of the physical pages. Also, because they try to mimic a true sheet of paper with text, it's written with black font on a white background... If you are on your computer for long periods of time, this brightness / style can lead to eye strain; and this is made worse by looking at a small screen like a cell phone (and with printed books, it is reflected light off of the matte pages, so it doesn't cause as much eye strain as actually shining a light as in a device's screen). It'd be nice if there was a way to adjust the colors / contrast so that it isn't so harsh on my eyes. I have a tool that I use for writing computer programs, and it has a way to adjust what background and fore colors you want to use; thus I have it set to have a black background with green text on it (with the text colors changing for certain keywords, etc.).

I think kindle is better. :)
-
I like to read a lot. I enjoy my kindle since I can take it anywhere and can store tons of books in it but every now and then I like the feel of holding a real book.
-
Books, although I also enjoy a kindle.

I've never used an e-reader before, but I have read a lot of things off my computer and I think I really prefer having an actual physical copy of whatever it is I am reading. I don't read as much as I should or as much as I really want to because of some issues I have, but I've been really trying to read more again. Hopefully it will stick this time. :)
