I enjoy reading both! Nothing can beat the feel of a paperback in your hands, but the convenience of my Kindle app on my iPad and iPhone makes it so much easier to transport with me. Give me a book in any format, and I’ll devour it…. especially if it’s one of yours!

I like and read both! AND, don’t forget audiobooks! I always have an audio ready for me to hit play on my phone…

Miranda Herrmann

I will read both but I love the feel of a real book in my hands. And the smell of the pages. An ebook just doesn’t have the whole experience.

Kay Mansfield

both.

Melissa Esser

I like both, but I love being able to use the public library e books from home! No leaving the house required! Let’s be honest though, if it was a book I was dying to read I would read a book hand written on toilet paper 😉

Dawn Lewis

I like print, but I love my ebooks. I read all the time, everywhere I go and I have always carried a book with me in my purse, as far back as junior high school. ebooks make it so convenient for me to take my entire library with me, whether it’s on my Nook, my iPad or even my phone. It’s perfect that when I finish a book, I can immediately jump into the next one.

Melissa

Will read both, but always NEED the print copy of my favorites! 🙂

Heather Hutchinson

  on October 24, 2017 :

I like both! The ebooks are definitely more portable but I just love holding a real book (and smelling them , lol!)

Amanda Warner

I can and will read both. I do prefer reading on my nook or kindle bc there is nothing better then laying in bed cuddled under all my blankets at night reading. Plus I bring it everywhere so I can read any time I have a moment to indulge in my favorite past time! Ebook ALL DAY LONG!

So funny u asked. I just went in amazon yesterday and purchased the whole tarien soul series. To get a re read in. In kindle form. I have always Bought paperback. But i give them away. So i needed one set i can keep!! I much prefer a real book in my hand to an ebook. The back light seems to strain my eyes quicker. But…. its so mucch easier to use kindle app on my phone. I can read in the dr office and noone judges me for being a hopeless romantic. How many ppl ever see someone out reading a romance in public? I do on my phone ! Lol! Yay! For the convienence. But i lovvvvvvve the feel of a real book. I enjoy my reading time better curled up by the fire with a real book in my hands. But when you cant have it. Ebook is better than no book. Or stupid womens magazines in the waiting room!!!!

I do both. But, I have to OWN my books no matter what. So I often buy them, then download them on my ereader. 🙂 Then I have all my favorites at the click of a button when I am traveling.

Mary McCoy

I like and read both

Amanda Anderson

  on October 24, 2017 :

I prefer print for nostalgia purposes but ebooks are more practical it comes to space in my house so I usually end up with ebooks

Jessica Jones

  on October 24, 2017 :

I prefer reading print. There is just something I love about actually having a book in my hand and a collection on my shelf. I like the convenience of ebook as well however so if I find a book or series I absolutely fall in love with (Tairen Soul) then I will buy it on both.

Donna Jenks

  on October 24, 2017 :

Print for sure! I just can’t get into an ebook in the same way. I love to feel the pages in my hands, smell that new book smell, and see them on my bedside bookshelf. ❤❤

Angela Johnson

  on October 24, 2017 :

i prefer ebooks. So much handier to carry around and I have a library at my fingertips. I no longer have 7-10 bookshelves full of books and if i’m at the end of a book I dont need to carry 2 books with me incase I finish the first. But I do miss holding a nice thick book in my hands.

LeeAnn De La Cruz

  on October 24, 2017 :

I buy all books on my kindle but if they’re really good and I read them over and over then I’ll buy them in print.

Dani

  on October 24, 2017 :

I like both! I love holding a book in my hands and being able to place it on my shelves, but it’s so convenient to have a ton of books on my Kindle (especially when I travel) and I can read on it at night after my husband has gone to bed.

NicoleMC

Only 7 more days!!!! Ebook so I can easily read in bed into the wee hours of the night. 🙂

Amanda Warner

  on October 24, 2017

It is absolutely the best! Reading in bed that is!

Lindsey

I have a 4 year old and a 6 month old. most of the time, I only have one hand and I hate to break the spine of a book, so ebook is what I read more of, but i prefer to have print. i just cant read a printed book with one hand and fend off a baby from tearing the pages, lol!
