I read both hard copy and on my kindle. I download fiction books and read them on my kindle. I love my kindle!! However, when reading a book about spiritual growth or a "self help' type book I much prefer to read that in a hard copy. I am old school and do a lot of underlining and the highlight feature in the kindle just isn't the same as a bright pink or yellow highlighter in my hand.

I have a Kindle and read stuff on it a lot. But I still probably prefer a real book. There's just something about the experience. . .
I just recently got a kindle, but I plan to continue buying books by my favorite authors. For example, I already have the first few books in a series, so I bought the "real" copy of the next book simply so the series wouldn't be missing a piece on the shelf. Weird, I know.
I read my Kindle so much that, when I'm reading a real book, I try to turn the page by pressing the button. Hm. It doesn't work. I've saved tons of money using my Kindle.
I read books from the library, from my Kindle, and books I buy (from the library sales and the half-price book store).
I prefer a "real" book, but I do read from my Kindle every day.
I just bought Diann and Kristin's devo book. Really am enjoying it! :)
I have very little desire to own an e-book reader. I can't afford to buy many books, so I usually only buy those by favorite authors. I work in a library, and can get just about any book I want that way.
Interesting to learn everyone's reading habits! I agree about the Devo, Pam. I'm reading it too and loving it.
diehard paperback or hardback reader here! :)
I'm reading both print copies and on my iphone app, it's a pretty even split though.
I need to invest in a regular sized e-reader, b/c I'm tired of having to enlarge the screen for every page on my phone.
I love my kindle, but I do kinda' miss the book covers. Yes, I do judge a book by its cover...
Although reading on a kindle (etc.) might be convinient, I'm loyal to novels. i love the feel of pages beneath my fingers and the smell of books!
I am severely arthritic and it's really hard to hold onto a book anymore. I checked into a Kindle but the cost is prohibitive to me. So I mostly "read" via audiobooks I get from our state library system. Often I download them onto my computer so I can transfer them to my little iPod Nano. That way, I can listen to a book no matter where I am.
I've got an Kindle and I think it is a great device. I've read books from cover to cover on it and I love the speed of book delivery through it. However, it seems like I'm reading more books in their paper versions than I am their electronic versions. I don't know that I can answer why that is, but that's the way it is.
I don't have a Kindle or a Nook, but my husband has an iPAD. I downloaded a couple of books to it, but have yet to read them. I generally read in bed at night and my books stay on my nightstand. When a book captures my attention I will sit and read it until I'm done or something urgent needs my attention. :-) I have read bits of books on my desktop. I can't read at the Doctor's office because I don't hear well and if I get lost in a story I miss my name. LOL However, my daughter and SIL have Nooks and they love them and use them all the time.
I do like audiobooks :)
Kindle crazy!!!:P
I wanted to resist the e-readers on principle. (I was an English major.) And it feels so good to hold a book and turn each page, right? But I'm allergic to the mold that grows in old paper. As in, five years or older, and the entire library. So I finally switched, and I love (love, love, love!) my allergy-free Kindle.
Oh, and a funny thing... After getting my Kindle, I gave away all of my hard-copy books to a good friend. All except two books I can't seem to part with: Sweetwater Gap and Surrender Bay. I'm not kidding. I just have to keep them.
My Kindle got taken over this summer by my son who can earn a laptop if he reads ten big books over the summer. My other son has an assignment for school for advanced history, so he's got my mother's Kindle. So we're both reading "real" books right now. LOL
Kindle. Get your own!
Aw, thanks, Kristen, I'm honored!
