    Still love real books. I have seen and tried the ereaders and even though they have some very nice digital features they just don't do it for me. I have seen others have problems connecting and trouble with glare and with the touchpads on many different readers. I just don't see how it replaces the joy of sitting down with a book!

    I like using an e-ink reader (Kindle or Nook) because they are easier to read on my side in bed (it is difficult to position a book right when laying like that) but still does not hurt my eyes after a long time like using an app on a tablet/phone.

    The hardbacks are the best, easy to read and hold. I borrow from my local library monthly.

    There's just something about actually holding a book that makes the reading experience so much better for me. Plus-- i bring it anywhere-- and if it gets wet that's ok! it will just dry out!

    As long as its a good book it doesn't really matter. I enjoy hardcover because it will withstand the test of time and protect the contents. Although, if it is the truly great book it doesn't matter if its hardcover, paperback, scroll, stone, album, cassette, CD, iTunes, or kindle; if it is read... That's all that matters.

    I love being able to hold a regular book and turning the pages.. but sometimes its just easier to grab my kindle and go to school.. =)

    I want an e-reader, but since I don't have one paperback books are easier for me to handle than hard cover ones... otherwise ANY type of book!

    i love reading books on my ipad, and what's best is that when i finish one, i can go right on to amazon and get another book right away. i am reading more books as a result of this

    I love hardcover books. I inherited the love of books from my grandparents. Paperback books can look messy. I have a Kindle on my computer, but it's just not the same. I have a library here in my office. My books are some of my most cherished possessions.
