Since this is a book section and most of you love to read books I have a question for you all. Would you prefer to read e-books on an e-reader or "real" physical books that you can hold in your hands and press your nose into? I was curious to your thoughts.
I love the smell of books emotion_bigheart and to be able to flip the pages instead of the reader doing it for you, but I love the fact that you can carry your most beloved books with you on an e-reader as well.. so my mind is a little bit divided. whee What are your thoughts? biggrin

I am a lifelong bookworm and a diehard fan of the e-reader. The e-reader is portable and convenient, it doesn't collect dust or mold.
That said, I don't feel ebook technology is where it needs to be to encourage consumers to part with their print books. I'm fine with ebooks for novels, but I prefer print for books featuring illustrations (such as historical bios, atlases, etc.)
I prefer the digital reading experience. Every page is flat and straight. But I love the smell of books. Old and new.
