something about books.

What do you prefer?

Do you love to read a real book with paper pages?
Or ... do you read e-books.?

Definitely an actual book. I don't like staring at a phone or tablet to read a book although I have read a few because they were either free e-editions or very cheap.

Even though I don't seem to read much in the way of books anymore (maybe one or two a year), I much prefer to read paper-books.  I have read a few e-books (from Amazon Kindle), but I don't enjoy it as much.

I prefer real books. My wife is fine with both . . . and she's a librarian 

Real books all the way.

I bought an e-Reader a few years ago to try that out.  I read ONE whole book on it and hated the experience.  I prefer a real book with real pages.  There is just something about the feel of the paper and the smell of the book that I love.

Besides, there are many articles suggesting that reading text from paper gives you better reading comprehension.  Here is a rather lengthy article to peruse.

Prefer the real thing, but my reading has dropped significantly in the last few years.

Mine as well.  There are too many things vying for our attention like regular TV, Netflix and other streaming TV, books, movies, game systems, our phones or computers with social media apps or games, work, family, church, etc.  Whew, I am tired just thinking about all that input!

I prefer a real book, but it's super easy to pull up a book on my phone or iPad if I have some free time to kill.

I prefer real books too.  They did a survey a while back (although it was rather limited) which basically came to the conclusion that if you read a paper book you became much more involved and connected with the story.  That's what I find too.

I have both...but physical tomes rule.

I prefer real books.
I've gotten 6 books as an e-book.
I'll try if I like it on an e-reader or an i pad.
