So my opinion, whatever suits your needs is what you should use. If you don't have much space in your home or aren't too concerned with handing books down, get an e-reader. If you are like me and love to re-read favorites and want to hand them down to your children, buy from a bookstore. **Nothing upsets me more than when i want to read and my battery starts to go dead. Cords really limit where you can read.

But on the other hand sometimes I want to physically hold the book I am reading. Have the "real" feeling of flipping the page, not just a simulated gesture. But I must admit I have converted most of my books over to the e-book application on my iPad. The only physical books I own are the ones that are signed by the author.

I love both. With ebooks I can carry thousands of books in the palm of my hands. There are some great authors that are not published by paper. I can roll around bed with my ereader (in my case, my phone) easily, and it has a night mode (light font on black screen) which makes it great for reading at night and not disturbing anyone. Also, I live in a really small house, and having a lot of books is not a good idea for high density areas...
However! I usually buy books in prints if they are my favourites. I have bought many print books that I have read first in ebook form.
