Do you read books in paper form or use Kindle or Nook?

Although I know what Kindle and Nook look like, I have never had either one. A co-worker told me that Kindle does not have illustrations. Thinking of all the information out there on how computers are bad for your eyes, it would seem that Kindle and Nook would add more strain in that area. I have always loved the feel and smell of a good book. What do you think?

@MsBooklover That may be one of the reasons.

@MsBooklover I'm sure it is. When I tell people I have books online, they all ask if they are on Kindle.

I notice it is very hard to sell used books today. It may be due to Kindle.

So far that is what I do. Unfortunately, I have so many books...there is no place to go with them.

@JChooo It is probably easier and cheaper to buy books in your country than to have them shipped to you in the USA.

I do prefer reading an actual book. I find it more pleasant to do. I'm not against reading on a kindle or nook or whatever, but I find it harder to do for long periods of time.

I have enough problems with eyes on the computer. That last thing I need is something new to make it worse. Plus...I just love books.

It looks like printed books are winning.

Personally, I still prefer printed books, the smell of the paper, the touch of the book inbetween my hands....

I've never had either one. I agree it would be hard on the eyes.
