But I don't think I'll ever buy one for myself, but if I got it as a gift I would definitely use it. I still do like actually holding the book in my hands. Honestly, I'm just glad people are reading at all, so if an ereader makes it easier, go for it.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322820186844573191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-33643820706855360392013-10-11T21:21:05.506-04:002013-10-11T21:21:05.506-04:00If an ebook is cheaper than the print copy, I'...If an ebook is cheaper than the print copy, I'll buy the ebook, unless it is an author that I love. Then, I'll buy it in print. If the print copy is under $10 and around the same price as the ebook, I will go ahead and buy it in print. I just got a new iPad mini, so I will probably buy a lot of ebooks right now, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-2201915620273158932013-10-11T15:43:30.708-04:002013-10-11T15:43:30.708-04:00You absolutely nailed it.

Then I did a scavenger hunt at an event and one of the "hunters" would win a Kindle - it was me! (Okay, it was my sister, but she didn't want it.) It was great to take to work to read on my lunch break, and I really loved being able to read Oprah's Book Club book on it with her extra comments and stuff.<br />But I haven't touched it at all this year.. And it's October. I mostly check out books from the library! I love to do that. If I knew better how to get books on the Kindle, I could see myself using it again. Definitely for travel if I had books on there to read. But I like real books better :)Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110820194938498823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-89522595087324450722013-10-10T14:59:15.566-04:002013-10-10T14:59:15.566-04:00I am 100% against e-readers.

They are an addiction I can't give up. Unless I can download every book I currently own for free onto an e-reader, I'm not getting one.<br /><br />Also, I don't have to charge a book. ^_^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-84011541418117344232013-10-10T13:52:23.833-04:002013-10-10T13:52:23.833-04:00I love the feeling of a real book too but I love t...I love the feeling of a real book too but I love the convience of digital as well. Most of my traveling is around town shuffling my children from one activity to another but it's really nice to open my Kindle read whatever strikes my mood. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-71990140835885798832013-10-10T11:59:22.945-04:002013-10-10T11:59:22.945-04:00I agree with this, it took me so long to get an er...I agree with this, it took me so long to get an ereader because I was so against them. However, when I went on vacation to the Bahamas I read three books and if I didn't have my ereader, I couldn't have done that and my pack would have been heavier. However, I still much prefer paper books and will only buy on my ereader if the book is significantly cheaper, like the one I am reading now.

And I always try to give away my books when I'm done reading them, I try to match up a book with a friend and send it there way. Just a fun way to "pay it forward" type thing :)Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136279775880642000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-65760495774300960342013-10-10T03:51:57.657-04:002013-10-10T03:51:57.657-04:00I love my kindle for traveling.

Now that I'm not traveling, I even use it when I'm just sitting around at home - it's better when I want to eat and read :) But I definitely missed having my hundreds of books at my disposal. Sometimes you just want to flip through a book to find that one passage. <br />http://mariellegreen.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
