Do you like to read a book via kindle or a actual book you purchase from the store? I prefer to purchase a book, sometimes the computers bother my eyes.
-
I like buy a book I can hold, same with the news paper and magazines. I always joke with my mail man because i also like my bills in paper form and sending payments back in the mail. I tell him i will always need him.
-
I read books from time to time!
-
I like to read and have a large amount of books
-
I go to the library and get my books. They are always willing to order a newer book for me. I have always loved to read, and really could not afford to buy all the books i read nor would i have a place to put them.
-
I prefer physical books. I have tried e-books but didn't stick with it.
-
Probably Kindle...just cause it's easier...apparently studies show that people retain more when reading an actual book though which is interesting....

A book from the Library
-
I have a kindle and like it ok but really like the feel of holding a book
-
I prefer to read a real book. I like the feel and smell of the book. I do have a Nook and will read books downloaded on it because I can get books from Barnes & Noble for free sometimes.
-
I don't have a kindle so for me it's the actual book, I like the smell and feel of them. My mom has one and I can definitely see the appeal. It's an easy way to carry a lot of books with you.
-
I like reading books, the ones I can hold and flip pages.
-
I like the actual book. I have a Kindle & use it just to pass the time reading when I have unexpected time & get bored. For "serious" reading though, it has to be a actual book.
-
I would much rather read a physical book vs reading on a tablet or kindle.
-
I like physical paper backs but I just recently got a library card and can now download digital books from the library to my tablet ... It is much more convenient.
-
I never buy books when I can get them from the library for free. I prefer to read them in physical form instead of online.
-
I have never used kindle, but I've always been so attached to the tangibility of the printed page. I adore owning books that I can place on the bookshelf on display, pick them up, and flip through them. The physical copy for me is extremely important, so I'd never even be able to consider a kindle, as much as I acknowledge it is a convenient and innovative piece of technology.
I hope printed books will never become outdated.

I am a fan of ebooks - especially the ePub format. I love the concept of having all the books at one place at my disposal. Sadly, not everything is in the ebook format and I still have to rely on buying a paperback at the very least. Also, if I am picking something up at the library, their ebook variety is limited.

Sometimes, I want to read a book cuz seeing the words on screen is like cheating the experience of reading book! I can get lost in the pages, while on screen you'll be distracted by ads & pop- UPS, commercials! While reading a book you can close your tired eyes maybe catch a few zzzzzz; on screen your eyes get irritated & it might seeing eye problems. A book you can feel the texture of the book's cover. The sent of an old book can bring back childhood memories & the new smell of a new book brings new hope. Yah, let's not forget how a book feels in our hands!
-
I don't read as much as I'd like to, but when I do, I prefer the feel of a book in my hands. I don't think anything will ever replace the joy of turning page after page.
-
I love my Kindle, but I still prefer physical books.
-
Some books are so boring...I do not even touch them. Some books are a nuisance...a health hazard.
-
I am an avid reader. I have several novels and hardback books that are a treasure to me. I do use my Kindle now because it is lighter to carry and user friendly.
-
I read books online, I don't have a kindle anymore.
-
I prefer physical books and use my library card on weekly basis.
-
I prefer physical books. They're just what I've been used to for years and haven't had any serious concerns about them.
-
I have a Nook Book with books on it,,, I love to read. John Grissham is my favorite :)
-
As a librarian, I have always appreciated a physical book with paper pages and ink. Then I got a Kindle for my birthday and I found that a book reads the same, no matter the format. However, I must add, that people who read paper books and fold the corner of a page to mark their spot instead of using a bookmark, are the devil's spawn.
-
I don't want to read a book with a gadget.
I read non-fiction....from gardening, health, history, political science etc.
I like to underline passages that I want to keep track of.
Also, easier on the eyes, after looking at phones, and internet for a length of time. My eyes get tired.
