Question of ebooks over paper, unless I am somehow disabled and incapable of hunting and gathering printed material...NEVER e books...like others have said-there is the tactile feeling of holding a book, of marking a page, of having a happy pile to lug around and plow through...nothing like it...you cannot get that feeling with an electronic gizmo and reading a screen.

But now that I'm enjoying a summer break, I come back to the paper books, because I really missed having them in my hands. I'm a lover of books, of their smell, of their covers.. But E-readers work for me as well.
same here jool!...paper, hands down...kindle is very convenient for travel tho.............pre-kindle, i had to tear pages out of guide books,................OUCH!, to save space in my suitcase....
Carpe Diem!

Yes, that's very true especially when it comes to travelling by plane. Having all the books stored in one device really matters.suzy1124 wrote:jool wrote:I bought myself a Kindle since I thought it would be helpful with my neverending obligatory reading lists at the University.
