    i love me some paperback copies, but having a kindle with available downloads of any book is just so convenient.

    I like the hardcopy. Ebooks are great for studying sometimes but they don't register in my brain when I read them most of the time as opposed to hardcopy.

    Hardbacks are my favourite, but most of mine are paperbacks.

    Paperback for sure. I enjoy the flexibility and feel of it in my hand while I read and I actually like the way the cover gets folded and dogeared from use. I only buy hardbacks occasionally at a used bookstore if I like the styling on the spine.

    After moving around the country 4-5 times I've sold most all my books and CD's. I take them on my tablet these days. A 2TB hard drive weighs a lot less than 2 thousand CD's and books.

    For the same reason people prefer actual video games over hard drive downloads, I like the notion of building/adding to my collection.

    Additionally, I realize that E-Readers come with paper like screens but I still feel it to be more of a strain than an actual hardcopy.

    Different folks, different strokes though...

    Someone suggested I purchase a book called Hynea. Seems to be a collection of primarily fiction short stories of the author's life that focus mainly on their childhood. Received overwhelmingly positive reviews plus the source who referred me is a good one. After I get a copy and finish it I'll report back.

    Anyone who's interested:

    Jude Angelini's Hynea
