Electronic or Paper

Hi everyone I was wondering - how do you feel about online reading, Kindle/cellphone/PC reading opposed to reading a book and paging through it? What would you prefer? Have you published on line and what was the outcome? Which sites do you recommend?

I read both print and ebooks, although I'm addicted to my Kindle! I find it convenient and the books are often much cheaper. I only read fiction on my Kindle though; when I was studying I found it a lot easier to have the physical book in front of me, especially when reading charts, etc.

I have not yet succumbed to buying eBooks or a Kindle. I prefer to buy books on Amazon, or from the three charity shops where I live.

I pass novels on to my nieces and friends. But I keep my educational books. Many contain illustrations and photographs.

I like the physical presence of books in my home. Books on shelves have a magnetic attraction. They are in easy reach if I need to refer to them.

Books can tell you much about a person. I am interested to see what people read when I walk in their homes. I run my eyes along their bookshelves. It is a conversation starter.
