It actually feels strange to read a real book now. But sometimes you have to resort to them when the ipad isn't availabe, or charging, or the book is only written in print! It's just nice to have ALL your books right there, you can flip through them as your mood changes and it lets you know when you have an email while you're reading. Plus you can highlight passages you like and share with other people on Amazon or Shelfari...and if you drop it (or your kid snatches it out of your hand), you don't lose which spot!Linda Kagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259042112816376940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-1428059913526533362013-01-31T10:54:03.608-05:002013-01-31T10:54:03.608-05:00Paperbacks mostly, although sometimes Kindle for t...Paperbacks mostly, although sometimes Kindle for travelling.<br /><br />The one good thing I can say absolutely about Kindles is when you drop them on your face in bed it doesn't hurt quite so much. But! They aren't waterproof so there is that (neither are books, but at least books I can dry). :)<br /><br /><3Mia Haysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041441666482084762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-72386737835298424642013-01-30T11:29:52.065-05:002013-01-30T11:29:52.065-05:00I've always preferred a real paper book, but I...I've always preferred a real paper book, but I have however, enjoyed reading on my tablet's Kindle app much more than I would have expected.

We have the best of both worlds. <br /><br />I have several bookcases filled to capacity and just looking at them makes me smile. Yet, when I'm at the gym or dashing around town, there's nothing like stowing my Kindle in my purse.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)<br />Susan J.

Y...Ah, blast those new fangled contraptions! LOL. <br /><br />You well know why I love my real books ... I'm a sensorial junkie: scent of the ink, slickness of the cover, crinkly pages that smell like paper and gust air into your hair and face if you flip through them fast. Yeah. There's no Nook or Kindle that has been able to cature the visceral experience of a book for me. Until they do, I'm old school all the way. ;) Anita Grace Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797870961916148616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-35798409779167969432013-01-28T15:57:48.427-05:002013-01-28T15:57:48.427-05:00I like both forms, though I am leaning more toward...I like both forms, though I am leaning more towards ebooks. When it comes to the big scifi/fantasy tomes, I usually get those in print. Same with autographed books and those I want to reference or keep and display on my shelves.
