so that’s another whole question — are you a book person or an e-book reader person?

 how do you do?  no, how do you read? 

i read on a kindle  

I prefer an actual book when I am home.  It is nice to get away from a screen once in a while.  But, most of the time I read off my nook.  The fact that I can get library books to download to my phone or nook no matter where I am and that I can take unlimited amount of books with me on vacation in one tiny tablet...the convenience can't be beaten.

I read large print books from the library   Sometimes that limits what is available but I haven’t missed many 

I am an old stick in the mud, I read real books.

Yah Sandra, I'm right there next to you sticking in mud :)

just wait, you guys — you have something to look forward to someday...the selection is endless... you can check out library books on your kindle —just sayin’ 

I prefer an actual book... the older the edition, the better...

My aunt, about ten years ago, asked my dad if I would like an e-reader of some sort for christmas... He told her no...  when she asked why, he said I once said it had to do with the feel and smell of a book...

I know it is just the smell of paper, ink, and probably mold... but I really do prefer books...

And my eyes are rather sensitive to light and most screens are hard on my eyes (even with the blue light filter on)...

Oh yes, AAtKT, I love the smell of books!

I loved my bookstore, all the books, music, gifts and the People and the coffee and snacks — I hear you loud and clear — 

just wait...one of these days — and you still have all the books you want of course —

oh and my original kindle was not backlit — you can still get them not backlit —

and my husband and my sister didn’t want one either —

i’m not arguing just explaining why i’m right jk jk jk jk jk jk jk (have you seen that t-shirt?)

don’t mind me (too much)

Haha, I hear you load and clear Kate.  Like I said, I am pretty sure I would love it.  

I love good ole fashioned paper books. I do have the option to read books on my iPad too, which is probably pretty similar to a kindle. I’ve read several on my iPad. I have a friend who is a voracious reader, and has given me sooooo many books. A whole shelf full. That’s why I haven’t read anything on my iPad for awhile. And I’m with Freckles0829, after being on my iPad/iPhone checking emails, FB, CC etc., I prefer being off the screen. Too much screen time hurts my eyes, and also makes it difficult for me to sleep. Scatters my brain.

Books for me too. I can lose myself in the pages, not so much with a device.

bump

There was an incident early on in e-readers where a book was sold without the licensing having gone through... people bought the book... downloaded it... and then found it missing later... they did all get refunds...

I guess that I feel like if someone wants to take back a book I bought, you need to break into my house and steal it back... lol
