eReader's Vs Books

[The Dragon Master]

Do you prefer eReaders (kindle's etc) to books? Or is it the other way round, or are you on the fence? Why do you think that?



When they first came out I was against them. I could see the appeal of having lots of books on one device which is easy to carry around, but I liked the feel off a book in my hand and the smell

Now though, I've got one (which is broke so I have to get another one) and I'm more in love with the idea. I currently have 90+ books on the thing and it's nice having all those books in one place, though for my favourite authors I tend to buy the book from the shop as well. So I'd say I'm on the fence, though I'm leaning more towards to eReader route.

I guess I'm old fashioned but I like books. I have over 300 books now in my library and every once in awhile, I like to pick one up and thumb through it. I also like to exchange books with my friends. Some books that I no longer want, I bring to the hospital so they can bring them around on a cart and let patients pick a book.

I don't have one and I do like having a physical object, but it sure beats carrying 90 books around

I don't have a problem reading off my computer screen either. The medium is less important than the story itself I should think.

I was against it at the beginning too. But then I got the nook to try it out, and I LOVE it!

I prefer reading a book. For some reason I don't like reading things off a screen for too long.
