Paper book but I have found myself reading more ebooks lately as it easier and not likely to be destroyed by little hands.

I enjoy my e-books. I have paper books but I am OCD about my pages being bent or torn so having the e-books is a lot less stress free. lol

I love reading real books, but I have run out of space in my home, therefore I have made a big switch to the ebook. Less clutter and I can always find, THAT book I want to read RIGHT now.

I prefer holding a book in my hands!! However, I have done e books but just doesn't capture my interest. I am just now getting used to reading e books.

I use to prefer paperbacks but once I got use to e-books I really can read either or. Some days I prefer a paperback because it is part of my older collection but when I want a newer book I prefer my e-book because it can hold more of a choice.

Even thou I am a technologic person, I still think paper book is irreplaceable.
Not that I am against ebooks. We get their own good benefit of carrying many books in one device and putting marks or even hearing them being read by some other voice. On the other side, paper book is more close to the real for our perception while reading or turning the pages, or even feeling it's thickness.
I don't know how to express it, but it's really different.
So yet, I can't decide if which one is my favorite, I prefer them both for their own different advantages.

I prefer paper books rather than E Books. I feel like the experience is much different with paper books.

I think both are great but having said that there is something about the smell of a paper book that just makes it better and more satisfying.

I think the paper books are irreplaceable. There's nothing like curling up with a good book.

I myself have both a kindle and a I pad I love to read on both, paper has been such a distant memory to me I'm glad I have gone the digital way because I have less books taking up my house and rooms since I read as much as I do, I have more then a thousand books on both machines and get more daily, I also find that the books are cheaper in digital then it would be in paper saving me tons of money since i'am the book hound. So if I were to recommend a ereader it would be the iPad or if you couldn't afford the iPad I would get the kindle fire since I'm happy with either. The iPad lets me get books for the nook as well which makes me even happier

I much prefer my e-reader to paper. Don't get me wrong, I love paper books, but I read so fast that paper just can't keep up. For kicks I decided to track how many books I read and am quite surprised at the results. Even with working full time, taking care of a kiddo and running a household, I still manage to read 8+ books a month. This past Sunday alone saw three completed novels. In a house of readers we already own 12 large book cases which are overflowing. By using an e-reader I keep dozens of books in my purse or on my night stand without taking up valuable space in our tiny home. Plus, when I finish a book I only need to flip to the next one to continue reading.

Definitely paper back. It's a lot more satisfying in my opinion
