Paperback or Electronic books?

[Taylor95]

I love reading off my kindle fire because its so thin and I can just carry it everywhere. But if I already have a paperback of a book I want to read, ill read it from the paperback.

I don't mind reading online books now and then but all in all I prefer a good old in hand book.

I like paperbacks but here lately I have been reading ebooks, they are not so bad.

[Timberlan127]

I use both paperbacks and my kindle. At one time I would have said paperbacks were better but lately it is so quick and easy to get any book I want on my kindle and many times for less money that I find myself using it more and more.

I just like to touch books so paperback guess Im still old fashioned.

I'm a big fan of paperbacks .. especially when I go on vacation .. that is when I have the time to read the most.

We just got a kindle fire so I can't wait to try out books on it.

If it was for college then I'mm pretty sure I'd go with ebooks since college books can be really heavy. But if it was just for normal everyday reading then I'd rather have the old fashioned paperback or hardcover book. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid about an ebook reader getting stolen while I'm on public transit.

I have both.  My e reader is for work and I read books at home.

Since I am a writer, it would be paperback or hardback. Electronic books are okay but I prefer to have the paper in my hands.

I am not much of a reader at all but I still prefer the good old paperback !!! I do not like brightness on laptops reading i prefer reading on actual paper so feel this would be the same case reading a book

I like the old fashioned way to read a book.  Paper back not electronic books.  I might some day change my mind and try electronic books.

I like the convenience my kindle. I used to like both  but I have a problem with my hand and find the e book easy to use.

[jkhanson]

I haven't read a book on a kindle yet.

I still get paper books from the library.

[black1304]

I agree, it is hard to choose between the two. I have books laying all around the house, but when I'm out and about and have to sit and wait for something it's convenient to use the e-reader on my phone. Since my phone is always with me Nd I rarely remember to grab a book on my way out the door I guess recently I've been using e-books more often than real, but if I am at home I tend to grab a paper book.

I have always preferred paper books, preferably hardback for their durability. I have never had any interest in using an ereader, because I prefer to have a hard copy of my book that I can use without any electronic device. I also enjoy audiobooks, preferably unabridged to get the whole story, so that I can listen to them hands free (allowing me to do  other tasks while listening) and have good narration. Actually I prefer audiobooks to regular paper books unless they have a lot of illustrations that are really nice (ie Of Thee I sing) and even then I will still use audiobooks. For me an ereader would only make sense if I had no place to store the books.
