Woah! I never really realized it but then its been 2 years since i picked myself up a paperback, it was about Brazil and a love story, i forgot the title even and the author. Lately, i saw the new collection of ebooks of my friend and i thought why not? So started looking around in Instagram, there are lots of local IG users who sells ebook for very cheap prices and good ebooks too, most recent and best sellers! I then said, why not! Instead of buying it to the bookstore which is rather expensive and imma out of budget so i asked around but some do not accept paypal, only money transfer, i used my genius brain, i googled it and downloaded it( from where its in torrent) .Yeah, whole day i got busy downloading it...now i have such large collection of ebooks to read and still counting, i have like more than 50 titles to read so i will be rather busy for the rest of the months...i love reading! Goodluck to my eyes!

Right now i am reading Nicholas Sparks whole collection i am halfway through, only 8 more books to go, then i might try Grisham's collection and Paulo Coelho, believe me i am just amazed looking at my current collection and i am just as pleased because i got them for free! Lucky ME! As Compared to getting them hardcopy, it will cost me a fortune and my kids will be there to destroy them, every possible chance they have.

Reading is so relaxing. I enjoy sitting in the corner reading a book, as feel so much better. Its a great way to reduce stress and my local library has many excellent books.

I don't have, and am not interested, in an e-reader... something about the holding the book, smelling it... just does it for me.
I get most of my books used and then I go to Goodwill where they are only about 3-4 for a hardback and 2 for a paper back.

I also went to Booksale and check out the books, Booksale sells cheaper books compared to other bookstores because most of the books that they sell are handmedowns, for a dollar you can find good titles already and hardbound for 3-5dollars. I have to agree, i tend to disregard my ebook as compared to holding a real book, when you see it lying on the bed it is calling out for your attention and when you get hold of it, you can never put it down until the last page.

I think traditional books are better than e books. You should read the traditonal one to ger feelings in it.

Believe me i know the huge difference. Ebook thing is rather new to me, i missed picking up a real book and flipping through the pages. Ebook will do for now.

I like to read too! I always read at lest a few pages everyday. There was some short period in my life when I took a break and didn't read at all and then when I went back to my books I started to wonder why did I stoped?! I also like to collect a lot of books to read them later and there are still some books left on my shelf waiting for me to pick them up while I read something else. However unlike you I don't enjoy e-books. I prefer to hold real paper-made book in my hands then ruin my eyes spending even more time staring at the screen.

Thought the same thing too, why did i ever stop? Yeah i know the answer to that, maybe that is why i missed being me so much, i somehow forgot the old things that i loved doing and put them aside. That is why i thought i am unhappy with the way things are. I am getting back on the track and hopefully things get better for me...sound selfish right? But i always believe in a saying "How can you give love and happiness when you are unhappy?"

I also like my ebook reader (Kindle), and I think I got about more than 50 books in there. I get my ebooks from this website which offers them at a discount for a limited period of time so I check it regularly just in case they got something I will be interested in.
