If I can't get it on my Kindle, I probably won't read it. That's for novels. I used to like newspapers, but I broke that habit too. I miss the crossword puzzles, though. And the cryptograms. Doing those online just isn't the same.

Books, it isn't as much of a disaster if you drop them in the bath.

I'm a sucker for a good story regardless of the way it's delivered. However, I do enjoy the space that's getting saved in my home by not accumulating more physical books.

Books! I can lie in bed and flip the pages. I like the way a book feels.

Books! I need to sense how far along I am in the reading or I get restless. Reading ebooks feels like an endless chore.

Physical books are best

I love my Kindle Paperwhite!

1. The XRay feature allows me to look up characters, which is helpful when a book has a lot of minor ones. No more flipping around trying to remember who someone is.
2. It has its own adjustable lighting for easy reading anywhere, and no screen glare for outdoor reading.
3. I can highlight interesting passages or dog ear pages and look them up later.
4. It can hold sooo many books, so there are plenty of options waiting when I finish a book. Very helpful for traveling and no need to have stacks of books lying around the house.
5. Small and lightweight so it fits easily in my purse.
6. Holds a charge for weeks.
7. I can easily look up things via Wikipedia or dictionary just by highlighting a name or word.
8. Lots of free or inexpensive books available through Amazon. Prime members even get a free new release every month.
9. Ability to change the font and size of print, among other means of personalization.
10. You can set the footer to show how far along you are in the book, how many minutes left in the chapter, etc.

I highly recommend the Paperwhite!! One of the best purchases I've ever made.

Like the tactile aspect of books, they are asthetically pleasing. Also love how finite. When you've consumed a book, it consumes a time and place, you can pick it up and that package has a specific meaning.

Like ereading for a very different purpose: that it's an infinite resource.

Books, I have an e-reader I have yet to turn on. A gift.

I used to prefer physical books, but now prefer e-books, for multiple reasons. The most practical of which is that I wear bifocals. With e-books, I can just increase the font size. With real books I increasingly need to supplement with a magnifying glass.

It's also handy, for the weight of one book, I can carry around hundreds of books in memory, with immediate access to millions more anywhere with an internet connection.

I like audio books while I'm on the driving, ebooks when I'm away from the house, and books when I'm at home. I don't like the possibility of losing my books or getting them damaged.

It depends. When reading fiction, definitely turning the real pages is where I like to be but doing research for fun , I prefer computer allowing me to flip with hyperlinks,
With research , it is the content I am after, with a novel it is the inner feel I seek . To be captured within the pages and smell the action in the print.

Books, when I get tired of reading I can place them across my face to keep the light out, lol. And the smell of a book cannot be replaced...

Each has pros and cons.

eReading is great because I always have a book with me (in my phone) and I can always get a new book once I’ve finished the last one. I can read in the dark, and I can hold the “book” and turn pages with one hand.

But I lose a sense of place in the book. I have a friend doing her PhD research on this, and in general people don’t remember chronology in a plot as well as for paper books. This accords with my own experience. On top of that, there’s something nostalgic and comfortable about holding a paper book.

Finally, when I’m reading a paper book people actually know I’m reading and not just catching up on Facebook (or Agnostic.com). This matters for the example I’m setting for my children. But it doesn’t seem to affect men I don’t know who think that me reading is an opportunity to talk to me.

Ebooks don't get folded pages, food stains, you don't need to tape them back together... Yeah, give me the real thing!!!

Never tried ereading. I do find books comforting and comfortable to read.

books! I want to hold a book. I spend enough time in front of screens as it is! I also like a vinyl record over any other medium for my music. listening to a 55 year old jazz album right now that is so alive!

I find I enjoy the experience of a physical book much more, but I admit it's a lot easier to carry around Moby Dick and Don Quitote, etc. all in one place. I guess I'd say: paper books for everyday, e-books for travelling.

I like audiobooks. I am listening and doing other things

E reading atm as i can amass a greater library and manipulate the files how I please. Books are to me a readable display peice. I collect them so one day I can have a physical library and show how well read I am. ?

Books probably because I am old I love nothing more than getting my jammies on and a hottie and snuggling up with a book.

My eyes are too weak now.I listen to books on tape or cd and reserve my eyes for instruction books. These days I walk around my house and look at all the books in every room and know that I will have to give them up pretty soon, or my heirs will have them carted out of the house when I am dead. Horrible thought!

It depends on the book.

Books and audio books

I love my kindle and do most of my reading on it but if Ireally enjoy a book I will buy a hard copy for my bookshelf!
