Kindle, other ebook or the real thing?

[Roadhump]

Just wondering what people prefer. I swore i would never have a Kindle, but my wife got me one for Christmas a couple of years ago and I was soon converted. I still enjoy the real thing as well though.

Kindle..an early model here...
I keep away from the Kindle Book store as much as possible...
Love it..
I still buy and read paperbacks ( mostly used or pre owned)

Kindle fan here, the old dodgy mince pies means the adjustable font etc. Is very welcome.

I am writing this on it.

I have a sony e-reader, and a samsung tablet that I have kindle books on. Much better than paper books

This old fart also reads a lot, which is why I use a Kindle. They are so easy, it has made reading a real pleasure again.

I was getting to a point where not only I had to find a book but one in the right font as well.

Only for holidays. Able to carry several books and still only have hand luggage. I carry the e reader in my pocket so it is not counted for luggage at all.

Kobo as you can borrow library books and there was a period last year when I couldn't get to the physical library. I like it better than I thought I would, but still read physical books too. I don't often buy books - usually secondhand from greenmetropolis.com

Kindle. Had my Kindle 3 since it was launched - fantastic bit of kit, and an absolute boon for holidays. Not having to carry 5 or 6 books in my case is brilliant!

Still love real books too, and am always checking out the charity shops to add to the book mountain in the flat (as all my bookshelves are full). Last book I bought was a hardback Christopher Brookmyre on Saturday, as he'd just given a brilliant talk at a library week event. He'd come through from the west & done it all for nothing - top man! Got him to sign it too :-)

Both, without any question. I love paper books, I love ebooks. It's fantastic being able to carry hundreds of books with me when I travel, but a home isn't a home without paper books.

(Mostly with two rows of books per slot)

I like reading and listening to music, I'm fairly agnostic when it comes to the medium or delivery. Just as long as the creator gets paid where possible. But then I am a musician and a writer

Spotify on the other hand can 'do one'.

And wine!

That goes without saying :-)
