I have books printed on paper.

I may start reading e-books (I don't have an e-reader yet, and only occasionally wish I did), but I will never get rid of my hard copy. In fact, anyone who wants to get rid of their hard copy can send them to me! ^__^

Don't want an e-reader. I spend enough time staring at a screen as it is. I like reading actual books.

I have an e-read too... but rarely ever use it. The only thing I use it for is magazine subscriptions and games. If I'm going to read a book, I want the real thing in my hands.

really try a thrift store for used books. i buy mine for 25cents to 50 cents. cheap. or the library to borrow. works for me.

reply
Mamaknows to hasher 2012/03/31 02:16:40

Yes I do that buy when I want to buy a new book(that they never have in the used shops or thrift stores...I usally get them on Amazon but this way when it's a book that I will read and toss...like Hunger games series or Twilight series I will read them once but not like Lord of the Rings which I own and read every year. It works out great this way and super easy. Less books around that I have to find a home for because I loath throwing books away except really really bad ones.

Nothing really replaces the feel of having an actual book in your hands. Not to mention it's much less straining on one's eyes.

I like paper books much more. But I can't loose all my money this way (
so, 95% of my library contains e-books.

I prefer a book I can hold in my hand and turn the pages. I have a library card and will travel to get a book.

A "Both" option would have been helpful. I have both and I buy both. If there is a book that I want to both read and collect, then I buy it on paper; preferably hardbound.

However, books that I just want to read and not collect OR stuff that is out of print, I get on my Kindle.

Cue up the "you are not an Obama supporter and you read?" remarks.......

It is a great purchase. Keep in mind that the Kindle Fire is more like the iPad and not like the rest of the Kindle line.
