W.O.L.F. discussion

Which is better to read with in your opinion paperback or hardcover? Also, do you think reading on a tablet is better or reading with an actually book in your hand? I think that having the book in front of you, the old fashion way, is better and comfortable. What is your opinion?

I'm perfectly comfortable with paperback or hard cover. I've been against ebooks since they came out however, I recently used my best friend's kindle to read a book and it wasn't half bad. I asked my fiance for a Kindle Fire for Christmas now because the way I see it is, I can get books for stupid cheap without leaving the house this winter. I live in Michigan and we tend to have some pretty brutal storms with lots of snow and ice. I will still always buy a book that I want to keep in my personal library though.

That is very interesting and thank you for sharing your opinion about those different types of books. Maybe one day I will get to try and read an ebook but for now, on to the 3D books.(regular books)

Either paperback or hardcover is fine with me. I prefer actual books to e-readers, but I also have really enjoyed having my kindle. Like hybrid.creature said, it's nice being able to get books for really cheap, and it's convenient being able to buy a book right at home and have it immediately. (That part is especially handy when you're sick and just wanna lay around in bed all day, but you need a new book.) Another thing I like about the kindle is being able to download free samples of most books. I tend to do this if it is an author I haven't read anything from before and want to know if I'll even like their writing style before I commit to buying it.
As convenient as it is being able to get a book instantly on the kindle, nothing beats the fun of getting to go to an actual book store.

I agree with the bit about getting free samples of the novel, as well as getting to lie around lazily, and I also wanted to add that you can read in the dark with an e-reader (although it'll mess up your eyes so I don't recommend it). But I still enjoy a good old book compared to all this technology we have today; back in my day, we never had all this Nook and Kindle gobbledygook! *pulls an angry old person grimace*

I also like hardcover since they're more durable than a paperback. Especially if you need to lend out your book to a friend, then it's more likely to come back in one piece.

I agree that nothing beats the fun of getting a new book at an actual store!

I'd like to have hardcover on all my books! But for some reason I just don't like reading ebooks! I don't even have a kindle, but when I read an ebook, it just seemed weird! Also, I prefer hard cover cause soft covers don't go over all the way (if you know what I mean) so you have to hold it down, or it flies over the page! If you got that, you know why I like hard cover better!

I understand what you mean, Percy. Sometimes the old fashion way is better. Also, hardcover lasts longer since the front and back of the book is protected!

I agree with Percy and ocean girlie! Hard cover is better!

I prefer hard cover because of the way it feel compared to paperback. I do enjoy traditional books better than e-books, however on my kindle I can rent a free book every month and return it when ever I feel. I can only get a new one if I return the other first though.

Hardcover.

I like to have hardcover for my favorite books -keeps in better condition- I can do either but prefer hardcover.

Hardcover lasts longer.

Exactly!

That depend on the book. I had a hard cover that came unbound. :(
But, that doesn't prevent me from liking them any less. :)
