I'm a page turner. At least that way I won't miss reading hardcopies so much.

It depends on the device. If I'm on a computer, I prefer scrolling, but if I'm on a phone, then I prefer page turning.

I'm indifferent. I'm good with both, if i'm being honest. I don't really mind as long as it gets me to the next page.

Definitely a scroller ! Smoother continuity when reading. I just tend to be a bit more careful about how I hold my phone.

I am a page turner - if I use the scrolling, I feel like I am always doing something with my hand and can’t rest while reading.

Scroller for sure. I have a kindle paperwhite which only allows for page turning, but I prefer to scroll when it is an option.

It depends on the device for me. If I am on my phone I prefer to scroll. If I have my kindle I prefer to tap.

I'm a page-turner all the way! It doesn't feel like I'm reading a book if I don't!

I used to be a scroller when I used to read ebooks on my phone or on my laptop. But since I got a Kindle, I became a page turner! I love it, it makes me feel like I'm reading a physical book.

I am a page-turner. Scrolling just doesn't give that feeling of calmness and thrill at the same time. As a rule of thumb, page turners should be read by the action of page-turning.

Alright, well to be honest, I am more of a page turner. I think I have a higher sense of achievement when I can visibly see how many pages I have read.

Personally, I like page turning more than scrolling. Page turning helps me focus better and it feels more like a physical book.

I used to be a page-turner three years ago. Adapting to a new job left me with no choice than to switch to being a scroller. Fortunately for me, this switch came with a blessing because I read more books
