Which do you prefer?

Absolutely physical books! I also have an ereader but I get bored reading on the screen :)

I don't have an ereader and totally physical books. I never want them to go away.

Physical ones. Sometimes i like reading outside when it nice out.

Physical copies, so i never have to worry about technology breaking and can flip the wonderful pages.

I totally loved physical books, and still do. But I got my Kindle and love it too. So I really like both. But I would be REALLY sad if they ever stopped printing physical books.

Physical books.

I have an ereader but I still buy most of my new books on paper. But when books get past 1000 pages they can get uncomfortable to hold so then an ebook might be better.

Good point about the size Celise. I really love a physical book, love hardback just for their look and feel; thoroughly enjoy a paperback. But I can also deal with ebooks and don't have a problem with them. Like most of you though, I would be very sad if paper books went away!

Yes, me neither. I decided to buy one because with it I can read lots of english books that are not published in my country :)

yes, and that's fine. That's a totally valid reason to get one.

Yeah. I know this girl who's reading this REALLY big hardcover book, so sometimes it's just better to use an ebook.

Ebooks hands down. I love everything about them. They're lightweight, affordable, efficent, and just plain amazing!!!! I love print books, but I wouldn't trade my eReader for the world!!! (: And it's not like I don't/won't read print books. It's just when I'm going to spend my money I'm gonna spend it on my sweet little virtual shelf!! :D

Physical! They will never die! (I hope.)
It's just that ebooks are bad for your eyes, and I am guaranteed to like a book better if I read a physical copy. :)

I don't watch tv. Maybe a movie every month or so. I don't have a cell phone, but I can definitely admit to being obsessed with the internet. :)

Hahaha ditto. It's like everything is suppose to kill our brain cells nowadays such a pity when you think about it....

It really is.

Maybe I'm a tree-killer, but I still like good old fashioned books. (That may also be because I don't have a Kindle.)

Both!
I like the printed books. I also like being able to swap them once I am finished with them.
And I like the compactness of a ebook.
It just depends on what mood I am in and what I want to read.

I prefer physical books, but I do have a Nook and I read on my laptop and desktop using Kindle for PC too.

Lisa I have a kobo reader and do the same thing with my Kindle books. I am looking into getting a small tablet, where I can keep all my ebooks on one device.

physical books even though I mostly read e-books. having an actual book in my hand is some how much better than reading on my computer.
