I prefer ebooks, even library versions. I usually reserve both an ebook version and a pbook version, and read whichever comes first. But if I don't reserve the book right away, the pbook version is kinda gross. I'm sure it was always like that, but now I have my pristine little ereader, with my pristine skin - you just can't beat that. And the convenience, compared with lugging around a pbook, say Stephen King's latest, is fantastic. I just throw my kindle (in its protective case) into my briefcase, or purse or knitting bag. Yesterday, I was waiting for a friend who was coming in on the train. I was sitting in the car, it was raining, and I was looking around for an umbrella. Found the umbrella, and also my kindle! I guess the train was 15 minutes late, but I didn't mind.
