Which do you prefer holding a book in your hand or using a Nook or other electronic device?i love holding a book in my hands❤️
Both
Book
It varies.
Either. I do prefer a book though when I read long fantasy books and they have a huge glossary of characters and places. However, I love my Kindle and read mostly on Kindle.
I love holding a book in my hand.
I’m finding that I prefer a soft cover book. It’s lighter weight, easy on the eyes and I can resell it or donate it when I’m done. I also like that I can easily see my progress.
Always a book
I find now I prefer reading on a device as it’s easier to read in low light and I can make the font bigger (aging eyes).
E-device. Use both my phone and a tablet (Kindle).
Book
Book! Use Kindle only when traveling.
A book. But buying on a Kindle is cheaper. Can never wait for the library and second hand book shops are sometimes expensive too.
I love holding a real book ! … but, I mostly read on my Kindle. Everywhere I take it, I’m carrying over 50 books ! … so, I always have something to read to fit my mood ?
Again
Book. Love all the sensations. The smell of the pages, especially if it’s old. The weight of it in my hand. The ease of flipping back and forth. I like to see my progress by the pages on either side of my bookmark. And I especially love reading a book from a used bookstore when I’m traveling. I love thinking about the person before me have the same experience I’m having now. I especially love it when I’ve found a used book that someone has underlined or notated.
Book…but I do use electronic sometimes!
If I’m home I read books. If I’m out I take my kindle, I also use my kindle for night reading before bed so then I can just read till I fall asleep and don’t have to worry about the light being left on
Or a heavy hardcover hitting me in the face when I crash. That hurts!
I love both for different times and reasons. The lighting and dictionary feature on Kindle…? I still love turning real pages so when I really love a book I like to have both, plus audio. ? When I can find old favorites or wishlist titles in thrift stores or used book stores, I grab them due to the cheap price. *Euphoria*
a book
Book and listening to an audiobook
Preference doesn’t matter, and it shouldn’t. If the story is good, you will be lost in it. If the medium is a distraction, then it isn’t right for the particular reader.
A book. And I have that habit of smelling books before I buy them, just to make sure
Book ?
Both, I love holding a book, but don’t like holding big books, so an ebook then any day…….
Books, Books,Books.??
A book! I have tried and tried my kindle and only successfully finished 2 books on it. I am addicted to the feel of paper, the smell of a book, and the way the cover bends(I dislike hardcovers). Reading is a tactile experience for me.
I read both… have books but also many e-books. So I don’t know. I think e-books don’t create the mess sometimes. Neither they occupy too much space. I tend to donate my books and use the library a LOT coz I tend to prefer the minimalist lifestyle. 🙂 x
Book
Prefer book but love the convenience of an e reader when traveling.
Holding a book. But for convenience sake, I use my Kindle.
I have embraced technology for this one. I enjoy the lightweightness of the kindle. I enjoy not trying to hold the book in place. I enjoy one touch page turning.
I do hate being so engulfed in the novel and having ‘charge battery’ pop up but I usually read in my house so I am always close to an outlet.
I love reading on my kindle or phone.
I love my kindle because I don’t have to carry a lot of books when traveling.
I go back and forth. Right now I am into regular books.
Depends on where I’m reading.
always prefer a real book
I’ve always loved books but then I discovered my kindle paperwhite and i love both equally :).
Both. If it’s a really great book, I’ll buy a copy for my shelves. But ebooks are so convenient. I have a trip coming up, and I really wouldn’t give up my notebook for a hard copy!
Both
A book
When I commuted by train to work, I loved my Kindle- there was always another book to read when I finished one! Now I love my Kindle at night because it has light and I can read and not bother my husband. Probably like many of you- I would rather read than sleep! But I mix it up- books and Kindle
So convenient to transfer from my kindle to my phone. I can take my books everywhere. Never thought I would like it, but…..
Have not purchased a paper book since I bought my kindle paperwhite. I love so many things about it.
I love the look, feel and smell of books. I have a kindle but I don’t use it. I tried. But still gravitated back to real books
My phone while curled up in bed.
Book
Books for me!
I am a hard covered snob! Something about the smell that attracts me
i love holding books and flipping pages
I love holding a book more than an electronic device but the electronic device gives me instant access to thousands of titles…
These days I prefer an ebook. I like the nightlight (built in on my Paperwhite), the lightness of the device and mainly the adjustable font size. I keep bumping the size up!
Does it matter? I never get why people think liking paper books somehow is better. ?
Old school I am
That’s great that you enjoy paper books. But it’s just as awesome that some people prefer reading ebooks.
@Jen whatever makes us happiest?have a good day!
Both. Backlit devices are great, but there is something about actually turning a page, the heft, the emotions that books bring…
Both: I like the Nook (while traveling on the airplane) and holding a book at home.
Book…always a book
