I have, but not intentionally. I started with one book and before I knew it I hadn't touched a print book in a year. I love the ability to look up words I'm not familiar with right there on the page and keep on going. I used to actually stop my reading and pull out the dictionary because it bugged the life out of me to continue without knowing what I was reading. Now I'm hooked. Not that I won't read a print book ever again, nothing like that new or old book smell, but I'm certainly in love with my kindle. I see it as similar to loving music, you'll listen on CD or radio and love them both then why not do the same for reading. :D

I like to read on my Kindle, IPad, and IPhone. Ebooks are also cheaper than paper books.

I have a Nook and an IPad. I use both of the a lot. I originally bought the Nook because I was traveling a lot, and I could not bring a whole suitcase of books. I still like the feel of a real book in my hands, so I have not switched over fully.

I know how you feel, I recently received a kindle and I am finding myself downloading all these free books I wouldn't have been able to get without a kindle and considering my love of hand held books I feel like I am betraying all the hard cover and paperback books I could be reading instead.

i am addicted to e-books i usually finish a book in 2o to 22 hours if reading an e-book. And I really like that i don't have to wait to go to a book shop and buy the paperbacks because i can't go to a book shop every 22 hours.

I have 2 kindles (different generations) and I don't think I've read an actual paper book since I got them. It is so much easier and saves a lot of storage space too. I like having all my titles at my finger tips.

I have read lots of eBooks but I don't think it will ever beat the experience of having a real book in hand.

I haven't switched fully yet but the e-book frequency has increased compared to traditional reading as it is more convenient, faster and easier

I have! I use my iPad to access my kindle, wattpad and iBooks apps to read. I prefer ebooks... to me, it's simpler, I don't have to search for the last place I put down my book and wandered off, etc. Moreover, I'm a tech geek and love everything technology related so reading ebooks on my iPad was a win-win.
