I highly prefer books. I need to feel, see, and touch them. I like to flip pages around. eBooks are fine and convenient to carry around, but they are not as real as the actual books on hand.

I like to read period... any books, eBooks or Books, but I have found out that after setting up an account at the library I can get ebooks FREE from the library and you don't have to return them, the magic library folks, take if off my computer, so no late fees....

I've never tried an e-book. The regular ones are fine for me.

I was against e-books at first but I have used them. I usually prefer traditional books since I like to feel the book in my hand but e-books have proven useful especially when I don't want to disturb others. Instead of having the light on to read a book, I can just read a book from my phone.

We got my husband a Kindle and he loves it.  I have a tablet with a Kindle app and I love it.  It just makes it so much easier to read a book except I have to remember to keep my tablet charged.

Depends. They both have their own pros and cons.  I like ebooks for they can be conviently download and save tree which is great for the environment and the earth.  I can electronically bookmark the page.  I can carry however many books around with an ipad.  I don't like how it makes my eyes dizzy for reading too long with the screen. i don't know why. there's just something that the screen makes my eyes tired. 
I like books because I can turn the page.  It makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something.  I can smell the brand new ness of the book.  I can physically tell how much more i need to read to finish the book.

I don't read very often, but when I do there is no question at all for me.  I like the traditional books.  I don't want any part of reading on a nook or kindle or anything like that.

I will always prefer books. I love the way they smell and the way pages feel. You never have to charge them. They're great.

I am a paperbook type reader. I bought my wife the Kindle last year and she can't put it down so, now she's a Ebook reader rather than a paperbook type reader anymore!!

EBooks are much easier when traveling, but I prefer regular old books when at home...

I love real books but I love the convenience of ebooks.  I can take so many books with me and get them almost any where any time.  You can't beat the feeling of holding a real book in your hands though.

I prefer a book. I have never had a kindle I hear they are neat. I have a computer and now a smart phone. Some of them smart phones arent too smart. I just got my initial one in September and ever since I got I have had to charge it daily and it would die. I took it back to the store again and they changed the model for me. I do not recommend the samsung exibit g4.
