Which do you prefer digital books or the good old fashioned paperback and hard bounds?

I am in absolute agreement with free; but regrettably, when enough libraries are cut back on their revenue, except for possibly bestsellers, we may see the demise of hard bounds. I fervently hope this doesn't occur though.

Nothing like the solid feel of a real, old-fashioned hardback. I can pull it to my chest, close my eyes and breathe it in.

There is nothing like snuggling up in bed with a real book, drink & snack -- no adverts & just enjoying the story! E books are handy for learning but cannot take the place of a real book!

Definitely prefer the real thing. I love books and would choose them any day :).

I love both, but I love my kindle more. When I travel its easier to carry more than 10 books and I can buy more books in the middle of the night. It took a bit to get used, but I'm over it now.

Same way I went kicking and screaming into digital photography.

I prefer the good old fashioned hard back books.

As convenient as digital books are, I have to admit that I still prefer hard-cover books...

I don't think that anything could ever replace a book. I've never had a digital reader, and doubt that I ever will.

Paperbacks are definitely my favorite! Can't read off of a computer screen. Just not the same.

Trust me im ateenager to but some kids really got to read real books.

Nothing beats the classic, I vote for paper back and hard bounds. I love it when you flip the pages, it brings more excitement, compare to digital books.

I prefer the "good old fashioned paperback and hard bounds" myself. I have tried to read books on a computer and even on the kindle and google book apps on phone. There's just something different about it that makes it harder to read for me.

I definitely prefer paperbacks. I have mentioned the reasons in my article : hubpages.com/hub/brainstormers.Infact this was the first one I had written on hub pages. Do read it and let me know if you would agree.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
