I love books. Well, I love reading on my computer/Kindle now. Reading is reading, if you ask me and I don't understand the hysteria that Kindles create in some people. Also, it saves the environment. No trees to kill. [:D]

With the Kindle (and other readers) you can have hundreds (thousands?) of books on your device! [:)]

Yes, I can be a Luddite, but the Kindle is where I am not. Now, if we want to talk about prices for books on Kindle, then that is another issue entirely. Some publishers charge entirely too much for a Kindle book especially when you can get a used paperback version of the same book for sometimes literally pennies.

I have reader but I prefer paper. E-books are too expensive. You can't borrow or sell them. I buy them because I don't have enough space to keep paper books. I also enjoy seeing my books on the shelves. When I see reader I don't feel anything.

There is nothing like a home library! [:)]

I buy paper versions for non-fiction (mostly history) books because it's almost impossible to flip between maps and text with ebooks. Also, I will frequently go back to them to look something up. For fiction, it's the library and ebooks are more convenient to borrow and return.

Good point! Reading any historical work that includes maps makes the book much more memorable and captivating! [:)]
