I love books and cannot get myself to read on a kindle or any other device. Does anyone else have this issue?

Sad to say girlie I am a kindle whore
LOL!! Me too — I get on a paper kick occasionally, but several things about the Kindle just grab me back.
What do you like about it better than opening a book?
The books are available with one click buy! You do not need light to read. Ebooks are cheaper too. Just depends on what you want and like. I own 4 kindles
Wow why 4 kindles?
Back ups ? and my kindle paper white for outside
Being able to hold it easily in one hand, reading in a dark room, the highlighting and notes capability, portability, and borrowing from the library anywhere and anytime!
I have a Kindle, but I use the Kindle app on my tablet and phone too.
I only read books !!!
I love changing the font and size so easy on the eyes also I wanted to read a book that was 1000 pages never could until I got it on my kindle — so easy
Thank you everyone for your input. You are all awesome!
I forgot that one, Loy Lorraine Little! I switch font size as conditions require.
I much prefer physical books, but read on my kindle app, too. Mostly for books that are only printed as eBooks, though.
@Jennifer lmao you kill me???
You love and miss me
I absolutely do
I was… until I realized how much the Kindle simplified it!
Don’t get me wrong, nothing beats the real thing. If I must own it, I’ll buy paperback!
No, I have to have the books! I have hundreds of them and no room for anything else! 🙂
I feel the same way, I want the actual book in my hands;)
I can’t bring myself to use a Kindle either.
None. I have only read one physical book this year – love making the font the type and size I want. – so easy on the eyes
Never thought about that. Thanks
That is why I switched. Some books have funny font and yellow paper.
No, I love my Kindle! I was reluctant at first, but it’s been well-worth it!! Perfect for traveling, reading at night, and there are such great deals on ebooks!!
I used to be the same way…the joy of going to the bookstore was unmatched. But, once I received an iPad for Christmas 5 years ago, I am a changed girl and I actually don’t like reading a normal book. I had my iPad for about a year before I realized that I could read in bed and not bother my husband with a light. When I purchase a book through iTunes, I get the page numbers and turn the page with my finger just like a book. Except now it tells me how many pages are in the chapter which is something I really got used to quickly and now I get frustrated when I read a book and have to count the pages. So I say try an e-reader…I used to swear I wouldn’t ever…
I have a kindle….but….I prefer a book. I love cruising thru used bookstores and finding prizes! Holding the book….you know?
I have books on kindle and read them but just not the same. I also had some issues with a few e books that had pages all out of wack. That was messed up!
Me!!! It just doesn’t feel right. I ordered a Kindle not long ago, they had a great deal on them on Amazon…I cancelled very shortly thereafter because I just really don’t think I would like it.
It’s nice sometimes…plus you can download games. I really tried to adapt and save space…but I can’t pass paper books. I do get a lot of free books on kindle tho.
You’re totally not alone! I tried borrowing my dads and i either got a headache or got easily distracted. Like couldn’t focus on the page and holding the book so just lost sense of what I was reading
The Paperwhite changed that for me. It’s not like a screen type at all.
I’ve heard that! There’s still that weird feeling of not holding an actual book and knowing how far into it you are lol
