Nice try, girl. E-readers are very usefull, but there’s something to be said for turning the pages yourself and the smell and other sensations of a physical copy.
To each his own. I love my books, but, since I travel I use a tablet. Less luggage and I don’t leave books in Hotel rooms. But there is nothing better than a roaring fire, a cup of hot chocolate and a good murder mystery on a cold night. Happy reading everyone!
I don’t LIKE e-readers, the screen is too small, and mine cuts off parts of the page if I make the print large enough to read easily – which is why I have one. I LOVE books, but my eyes are not so young anymore. So, I read on my desktop computer with the large screen and the large print when I can, and savor the pleasure of a good, physical copy of a book when I can. And take the e-reader to appointments.
But NOTHING holds a candle to a real, bound-paper book. Not that I’m a bibliophile or anything! Noooo, not me! /s

I do both. Prefer books, but if on a long plane trip for example, I like pre loaded books on e-readers. Easier to carry.

I read both. Especially since I can check out books from the library with the overdrive app. This is very important during the winter months.
