I must have a hard copy if it's a book I will read and read again and want to mark up and circle and highlight. Although my Kindle has highlighting and note capabilities, it's not the same as the actual book and my pencil scratches of thoughts. <br /><br />Like others here, I'm an addict of the musty smell of pages and love books. I'll tell you when I LOVE my Kindle reading-- at night. I can just turn it on, dim the light and read without having to turn on a light or get up. Now THAT is reading bliss.

I buy ebooks of friends or in support of a new author, as long as the price isn't more than $6 (and I want to read it - I won't buy the book otherwise). For my favorite authors, it's paper all the way! I really prefer that format over digital.Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-84521249704697496892013-10-10T12:12:20.487-07:002013-10-10T12:12:20.487-07:00Hey Mark!

I've had a Kindle Fire for 2 years and I love it but I probably read 50% e-reader and 50% traditional...one thing I love about the Fire is being able to go straight to the dictionary or the Web to look up a word or term or bit of history I'm not familiar with and then go straight back to the book...I also like that self-published books and/or friends' books are often very affordable on the e-Reader...what I especially like is that many authors are now pre-releasing the first couple of chapters of their new books and/or writing short stories that feature characters from their series, only for e-release...services like NetGalley have also made having an e-reader worthwhile...but I will always have real books as well...especially signed copiesJim Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635615531025513644noreply@blogger.com
