Sometimes, I prefer an ebook, other times, I prefer traditional paper books.

eBook is handy to carry than lots of books. But for me, I like traditional book where I can touch, smell and feel the page.

I own a kindle and have ebooks on there but for me it has been really hard to get into them. I like the feeling of holding a book and turning the pages. I don't want to waste money so I guess I need to get more use to reading them on my kindle.

I'm starting to like eBooks better because of less clutter. Having the book is nice, but who knows if you'll ever pick up a certain book ever again.

I am intrigued and amazed with the capabilities of the Kindles/IPads. I spent a year traveling by train to and from my work and was amazed at the number of people(probably ninety percent) who owned these and read from them. I bought one for my thirteen year old and he loves it...uses it every day!  My daughter says she doesn't really want one because she likes having a book in her hands but I may get her one for Christmas. I was surprised, however, that they don't carry every book known to man kind.  My son needed a book for class the other day and said he couldn't get the e-book.

I perfer an ebook over a paperback or hard cover, the ebook takes up less room then having a whole bunch of books around the house taking up space

I love my Kindle eReader.  It's easier to carry with you and not as bulky.  I do have quite a lot of hard covers and novels pre kindle.  I love reading and rereading some of my books.

I have to say I used to read "paper" books all the time but since I got hold of a Kindle I find it's something I would rather have.  First, because it's easy to read, second because you can "borrow" many different books (so you save a bit because you're not buying them), then of course you can use the Kindle many different ways too.  You can get magazines, newspapers, games, Facebook, Twitter or whatever else you like.  So, all in all I'm kinda glad I have it.  Of course, I don't have any little children but if I did I'd get them one of kiddie tablets they have on the market that way he/she would have something of their own!!!!

I am definitely a hybrid of the two.  I love reading e-books on my kindle and I love that I don't have to create more shelf space to house new books.  I also love having a large home library at my disposal and having books I can lend to others.

I read books both ways, but probably read more paperback books than books on my nook.
