Do you prefer to own a physical copy of a book where you can sit it on your shelf and not worry about viruses, crashes, having to charge it, or the light being too harsh on your eyes?

Or do you prefer to have all of your books located in one device?

Hadiya | 9 comments Physical books all the way, Because I feel more connected to a story when I can feel the pages that hold only the words to that story. But I find it convenient for all the books I want to read in one device, and with a E-book most people are less likely to ask what your reading.

Becky (booklovingcoffeeaddict) Never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to favor my e-reader (Kindle) due to its convenience! I find myself thinking - wish this was on my kindle, lol!

I'm weird I know!

Alicia (hazard0us) | 4 comments Physical books, no hesitation. I have to have the actual book in my hand when I read. It's not like I can't reading electronically, I just prefer the solid stack of paper in my hands.

It's not strange at all! Physical books all the way! Nothing beats having a good book in your hands! :-)

Ify (cookies_and_cream) | 52 comments I like physical books, but i don't usually have the time to buy them. I prefer them, because what if the battery dies on your device? Unless you brought an extra physical book, it won't be so fun. All in all, I think that physical books are better :)

“I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can’t really put a book on the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I said, ‘If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper with that nice smell, then we’ll talk.’ All the computer can give you is a manuscript. People don’t want to read manuscripts. They want to read books. Books smell good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your pocket.” – Ray Bradbury

Ebooks helped me reading at night though but I still prefer the physical books
