Are you up for a Quickie . . .
Question? ;)
In order to determine what would make better prizes in our upcoming giveaways, we'd really like to know: when you read, what do you normally pick up? A book (paperback or hardback), or do you get on your e-reader?
Please fill out our poll and let us know!
I voted book only bc I don't have a E-reader yet, although there is something kind of magical about the feel of a book in your hands, dog ear-ing the page, the smell of the paper. However, I do have my fingers crossed for a Kindle Fire for Mother's Day :)
ReplyDeleteHiya, Dawn! I felt the same way after I bought the iPad - it was too large and it didn't make for a comfortable read for me. I then switched over to reading PDF's on my laptop, but that was limiting, too. It wasn't until I bought the Kindle Fire during Christmas and got a standing cover for it, that I finally got comfortable read. I've been a reading machine since! LOL The Kindle Fire holds my place and I can even take notes on any book. It especially comes in handy when I run across a word I don't know, and I just click on it to find out what it means. Plus, I can read without anyone knowing what I'm reading - which I could never do with a real book *hides erotica* LOL Love it :) Let me know when you get one :)
DeleteI find it´s easier reading on my tablet but i still buy paperbacks when it´s something i really want, and paper still smells better than plastic =D
ReplyDeleteE-reader books for me. Mostly because whilst I love real books, due to costs and everything often when real books are being given away I'm not qualified to enter being from Australia.
ReplyDeleteI love both, but the real thing is always better *wiggles eyesbrows* :P
ReplyDeleteI love my books. I do have a kindle. but I have only put like 5 books on, I prefer to "hold" my book while reading it and get lost in the words
ReplyDeleteYes, totally agree that nothing compares to real books, but having a Kindle avoids the discussion of, "Mom, why are there naked people on the cover of this book? And what is BDSM?" LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI love my books. The smell of them. The texture. I like to involve as many senses as possible in everything I do. But having said that I'm really broke and the only way I've been reading lately is on my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI love real books. I have a kindle, but have not used it to read a book yet. My children have though. I guess I am old-fashioned and hate change. I have downloaded on it. I just seem to go to my real books rather than start one on the kindle. My choice was real books!!
ReplyDeleteI love my kindle (voted ebook) I can have a library as big as a house and it only takes up a few inches, I can adjust the print to any size comfortable for me, and it is not too heavy or cumbersome to hold while reading :)
ReplyDeleteThat's another plus for me, too, Denise! I move around so much it's hard lugging around so many books. But in my Kindle I can have all the books I need and they don't clutter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone for stopping by :)
I got my first Kindle and let it sit because I didnt want to miss the physical feel of a book. After week I charged up the kindle and have not put it down in more than 2 years. Now I vote and the poll is 54% to the e-reader wow so many trees
ReplyDeleteI love both, but do find myself reading more ebooks these days.
ReplyDeleteI tend to do ebooks for new authors/series, but the big authors/series I tend to do audiobook for my long car rides. Most of what I listen to has some sort of paranormal in it. BVB, Fallen angel, Mighnight Breed, LKH, Patricia Briggs, etc.
ReplyDeleteHummm, well I love reading on my Kindle but if I have a print book then I can lend it soooo
ReplyDeleteFor me I use my kindle it's just easier.
