What do you prefer? An actual book with paper pages or an electronic reader?

Real books for me! I'm not going to get yelled at again am I? Just kidding!!

haha.I'm with you

I like both. My Nook is easy to read on and can hold a small library. It stays open to the page I'm reading without having to hold it open and reopens to that page. Not all books I'm interested in are available as ebooks, but I suspect that this problem will diminish over time. My Nook (color) needs recharged too often to take on a canoe trip, but I have considered getting one of the smaller, lighter ones with longer battery life, but wonder how long it would last on a colder, late Sept. trip. I really don't want to carry a solar charger and I'm not sure what thge other options are. But I have a large library of books at home and I sometimes just want to have a book in hand.

Cheapest Kindle.

can bring hundreds of books, will last weeks, very lightweight. Never thought I'd say that until I used one.

Hmmm,Food for thought for this curmudgeon. Thanks!

Kindle. As many books as you want without the extra weight and when you fall asleep reading you don't loose your place.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered a Kindle! The old guy advances.

And I'm liking it.

And I'm liking it.

I'm appalled! I think? I thought us old book guys had to stick together!

And right now I'm reading a used book with that good old musty smell. And i still have mixed thoughts.

Nothing wrong with being adaptable. I guess I should work on that!!

And you know..i still prefer books.

I prefer books with paper pages. My wife seems to prefer the Kindle. I do have an iPad but I've only read magazines on it.

I know what you mean, Marty. Nothing beats holding a real book, and keeping it on a bookshelf forever. My NOOK's okay (liking the kid's Kindle better), but I stare at a computer at work all day, so it's nice to actually turn paper pages.

Of course, eBooks are generally less expensive - though I live in constant fear that it will lose my page or suddenly disappear the way electronic files tend to.

I still prefer real paper
