What are your thoughts?
I've always been an avid reader. When e-readers first started coming out, I was intrigued but ignored them for the most part. I love paper books - the smell, the feel, they're just extremely comforting.
In late 2010 I broke down and got a kindle, and instantly fell in love! I could have almost ANY book downloaded with in seconds! I could carry thousands of books with me anywhere! It was so small and light, and only needed one hand to hold!
This lasted about a year, and then I drifted back to paper books. I still have my kindle and love the convenience and will probably use it again, but I just love paper books! I guess because I've always been a huge reader, they're just familiar and comforting.
I buy all my books used, and give away or trade them in when I am done reading - so I don't worry as much about environmental issues compared to if I was buying new books constantly. Just wondering where other readers stand!
