Reading e book vs. reading old kind of books

Oh, I will go with the old style of books over e-books or Kindles or anything like that ANY DAY, hands down! I really dislike the idea of those. I don't own any reading devices (like a Nook or a Kindle), but they all seem like sort of a headache for me. I'd rather be able to physically carry the book in my hands than have an electronic device that really isn't necessary. *shrugs*. I have some friends who own Kindles and they adore them, but I still can't wrap my head around the idea? Call me old-fashioned!

I much prefer ebook to traditional paper books. It is much more convenient and it doesn't lessen the fun of reading at all. I am allergic to dust, so keeping lots of books with me is not an option. You know, I bet people in the past would also prefer riding a horse cart rather than cars because cart was more romantic. But as the time went by, people would always choose convenience before other "impressions", that's why cars are popular these days.

I read a lot online, but I don't think an ebook reader can ever take the place of a real book. At least I hope they don't. There's something about the feel of a book that just isn't in a Kindle or whatever. And you can't feel or hear the pages turn unless you have a book made with paper pages!

I haven't tried the whole ereader thing. I still have a 6 foot tall 5 shelf bookcase full of books waiting for me to read them lol. Though the appeal of having tons of books in one is kind of neat. I do think though that some of the feel of books being a page turner is lost. Plus with the way electronics are, I would worry about buying a bunch of books and then the thing crashing and losing them.

I actually prefer reading old kinds of books. I just have a difficult time reading things on a screen for long periods of time. It's easier for me to just to read the old sorts of books. It's just what I prefer reading.

Well they are different in many ways and in books itself but well i dont find myself doing any of those at all . First i hated reading uninteresting things at school - damn that literature its such a stupid thing :) And well everyone about themself right :) I dont enjoy reading so i dont do it i found like 3-4 interesting books for over my life until now and thats it and well they were old literature but it was interesting :)

tkarabulut..I don't use or like e-books or even Kindle. I like the feel of holding a book and reading it..in time I will probably change but that's how it is for me so far.

I have an ereader. It is called a literati by sharper image and I use it sometimes but more for putting PDF files on it and putting recipies and stuff on it. I dont particularly use it to read books I just like the feel of a real book more. Yeah real books take up more space but I really really love sitting down and reading a real book feeling the pages and the way that they smell. Its just awesome.
