Personally, I think it's pointless to have a book on eReader and paperback/hardback. If I were rich enough, I would buy that library from Beauty and the Beast!

does anyone do this already? If you do what makes it worth it? (i think it's a pretty cool idea, i'd like to see the volume of space all of the books i've read takes up)
I agree! Looking around and seeing the physical translation of your reading empire.... :tiphat:

If I had the money I would make my own library in my house. I prefer physical books, but who says I can't have a little computer lab to read ebooks for my guests? :techie-reference:

No, I personally always prefer a physical book over e-books. It's just a whole different experience, as well as not a strain on the eyes.

Post by Dan_Wellock »

I would not get rid of my paper books. I love them, and they are full of memories. I love cracking open a new or an old and dusty book. If that went away, it would be terrible! So my answer is no. However, having both versions would be cool.

It very much is the dream! I have always wanted a huge library like that. And simply spending all my days reading and living in beautiful different worlds would be exquisite!

I would still continue to buy traditional books, no matter how much money I had! For me, nothing can replace the wonderful feeling of holding a book in my hands and breathing in the smell of the pages. I think it adds to the experience of reading a book, especially when a book is bound in a unique way.

I couldn't agree more! A library like that would be so wonderful to have! There's nothing better than having a cozy space to read, surrounded by books!

If I had enough money, I would rather purchase a library space for myself and stack it with all possible physical copies of books. I don't think I would ever go for eBooks, if I had that kind of money.

Yes, I would love to have both versions. Paper and electronic books . It is not about being rich but about what I require. A room or shelf of paper and electronic books adds a good feeling to me individually. My room with some paper books proves that I love reading just as electronic books on my phone.
