The Nook didn't work for me until I bought one of those leather covers--I needed the physical sense of turning back the cover to get into it. As for paper books---they are treasured trophies for me--'Look what I read!' I also dissect the writing in the books that I love--w/stickies and highlighters and I just don't feel as well equipped to do that (and then find the highlighted passages again) within my e-books. I am certain that someday my grand children will whisper in awe at all the 'paper books' I still have--simply because they are my friends and I want to touch them and couldn't ever dream of parting with them.Maggie Marrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423567809178142889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-19486142980227988692011-12-14T13:15:51.691-05:002011-12-14T13:15:51.691-05:00Make no mistake, I have a serious love for paper, ...Make no mistake, I have a serious love for paper, too. I own several rare books, and there's just no getting over the beauty of the paper and (for some) the typography. I have a book from the 1900's (A list of all the members of Brooks's from inception to 1907, privately printed on handmade paper. Really lovely. I have another from about 1815 where the paper still retains the impressions from the printing press striking the paper.<br /><br />But with now rare exceptions, books are no longer hand-made and hand-sewn etc.<br /><br />Patji: If you think you'll be primarily reading, then, right now, the K-Fire is a really cost-effective choice. If you want reading plus a really vibrant app environment, email etc. then go iPad.<br /><br />I was surprised by all the other things I do with the iPad that I never expected would be so fun/useful etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858789421494610124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-48893490202925127572011-12-14T11:14:52.960-05:002011-12-14T11:14:52.960-05:00I love my physical books.

I've only recently started to read eBooks, primarily on my iPhone since I lack an eReader. The only thing I have against eBooks is that I don't want to pay twice. If I really like a book then I want to own it in physical form, but why would I want to do that if I already purchased the eBook or vice versa? Though I have to admit that I've been debating the purchase of an iPad or Kindle Fire...Patjihttp://patjissi.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-56724579683575138182011-12-14T10:53:05.365-05:002011-12-14T10:53:05.365-05:00I just love paper.

That's awesome about reading and walking the dogs.<br /><br />Karin: I bought my mom The Tiger's Wife -- she reads mostly on Kindle now (I bought one for her a couple years ago). She has arthritis and has trouble holding books so the Kindle allows her to read again. I'll have to ask her if she liked it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858789421494610124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-13539151764130146552011-12-14T09:26:48.042-05:002011-12-14T09:26:48.042-05:00I still prefer paper but read some on my Kindle.

Two other books that I have enjoyed recently: Finding Emilie by Laurel Corona; Fireflies in December by Jennifer Erin Valent.<br /><br />I read while I walk the dogs. I know that sounds weird but we live in the country and no one drives down our road. So aside from stopping the dogs from rolling in something putrid, they don't really need my supervision. That said, the Kindle is GREAT to take on walks. I can increase the font size so I can still read the words as I'm bopping up and down and the wind doesn't blow the pages around. Also, I live in WI so I'm required to dress in a million layers for 6 months out of the year. Ever tried turning a paper page of a book with huge mittens on? It doesn't work.kjramstackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159351218324359096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-48851395280192870022011-12-14T07:16:18.379-05:002011-12-14T07:16:18.379-05:00Hi Carolyn, I was dragged into reading ebooks...an...Hi Carolyn, I was dragged into reading ebooks...and I love them.
