I prefer to read an actual book even though I use my kindle most of the time.

I read both. I love to hold a real book and I like being able to easily flip back and check on a fact. But I also like my kindle because I can get books instantly and a little cheaper.

I don't own a kindle, nor do I want one.  In fact it's never appealed to me.  There was a time I wanted a home library... there was something about hard cover books that just made me happy.  I was often given books so I had a nice little collection started.  Life happened and moving boxes of books didn't appeal to me so I took them to the Good Will.  Now I'm content with getting books from the local library.

I have owned a Kindle for several years now, but I think I've only read one or two books on it during that whole time. The town library is within a few minutes walking distance from my home, so I can't justify paying for a book when I can just walk to the library and get it in minutes. Plus I just like the feel of a real book while reading, so prefer to read actual books.

I use a Kindle that I got years ago~
it's so much more convenient, I read books at a slow pace while doing other things so to have to bring them back to the library is a bit of a hassle.  :notworthy:

I prefer to read actual books. I find it fun not to just read actual books, but to also search for them at libraries, book stores, rummage sale, etc.

I prefer the book, too.  I already have a collection of my favorite books and my very favorite author, Steven King.  I just like the idea of having my own library of real books.  My son wanted to buy me a Kindle last year for Christmas.  I told him just get me a gift card from Barnes & Noble, instead.  Can you guess what I bought with it?  BOOKS!  Haha!!
