I read a lot of books. When I finish a book or series, I instantly pick up another one.

I thought about getting a Kindle and I got one and the books are cheap but I just don't like it. I like the feel of books, flipping pages, looking at the cover, the feel of paper etc.

Another thing I noticed: when I'm reading an actual book with a good plot, I get into it straight away but when I read it on my Kindle it's just boring and I can't get into it.


Anyone else feel this way?

I like ebooks because there is no weight burden since its way lighter.
Also I could cary many ebooks on a single device and unlike books, it doesn't take up much space.
You'll get use to it bro :whip:

I prefer books but ebooks means a lot less maintenance and less storage space.

True. But I always forget to charge my electronic devices so if I need my ereader in an emergency, bad luck :(

I hope I get used to it

I use the Kindle app on my iPad, I love it! <3

If only I liked it as much as you :T_T:

Good point. I probably have over 50 books in storage in my garage.

I like audio books xD since I started reading the bible that way I never stopped. It gets you deeper in the story well depending on the readers voice

Well I have a Samsung Note II and I use the kindle and nook apps for it. I didn't like it as much as an actual book at first, but after few weeks I got into it more and more. Now I barely read books that aren't on my phone unless I'm reading a book over again and it is the actual book not an electronic one.

I was the same way until I got my Nexus 7. It's nice being able to get a book I want straight away in stead of months or even a year. Always depended on when I had money. Plus, my Nexus 7 is better on my eyes then a normal book.

I only read printed books and, yes, piles of books occupy lot of space in my room. It would be a lot easier if I just download books I want to read to an iPad or Kindle but there is something about printed format that can't be matched with letters on a screen, at least for me.

I actually don't mind.I have read a lot of books on my tablet, seems the same.I like the table version better because you don't just read on your tablet you can play games and carry more books.

I'm a big fan of eboooks because I don't have to go to library to borrow books. I just download them and enjoy. ^_^

I hate ebooks. There are some qualities paper books have that makes them more enjoyable to me.
