Ereader only ?

[Endelyn]

I use both, about 50/50. If books are between 200 and 600 pages, I'll buy the hardcover. If they're over or under that (or have unattractive covers, or weren't released as hardcovers, or it's a series and the covers don't match), I buy the ebook.

On my ereader only except if I want to read a book with a lot of footnotes then pbooks but that's not that often, I've only read a pbook twice since getting a Kindle.

Strictly ereader (Kindle), since I got my first Kindle in 2011.

In principle, e-reader only.

In practice, I still have a huge pile of unread paper books at home, so part of my this year's reading challenge is "one paper book a month" (out of the 10-15 books I read every month). It's something I have to force myself to do, as I really find paper books uncomfortable.

I can deal with hardbacks since I read when sitting, knees up, so they're propped on my knees, and unlike paperbacks, they stay open more easily and tend to have reasonable-sized print and enough white space, but paperbacks are a real pain. (I hated them also before the ebook era but it's not like there was always a choice.)

I do still buy the occasional hardcover if it looks really nice (cover art that I like, something "extra" in the texture of the cover, coloured edges) and is a book I'll want for my shelves, but mostly that's as a collectible and it's a rare thing, maybe 5+ books a year (out of the 120-140 that I read) and since for some of them, I buy both the hardcover and the ebook, the hardcover will sit unread.

It's a mix. I have a lot of paper books on my shelves that I have been meaning to get to. I lost my Kindle and haven't gotten around to replacing it yet, I'm taking the opportunity to catch up on some of those paper books.

all ereader and am now replacing my keepers with digital versions however the paper keepers will still stay on my bookshelves as they hold memories for me

Exclusively ereader/phone/tablet/mp3player for the last 4 years. Won't ever go back to paper books.

you mean you will have two copies for each book?(paper and digit)

Another here for ereader only. I've only tried a couple of paperbacks since getting my first Kindle, and I just didn't enjoy the experience, I've been spoiled by my ereaders

I usually read ebooks, but have no qualms about checking out library pbooks if that is what is available.

Also, I don't use my Kindle on Shabbos, so I have to read pbooks then anyways.

Mostly e-ink e-reader, and Tablet for those cases where color is needed.

But nothing beats paper for technical reference (with diagrams/charts).
Then there is that diminishing type size solution

Exclusively ereader , the first year after I bought the ereader (2007 I think) I still read paper books, mostly from the library, but I ended up giving up because I tis much more comfortable to read in the ereader, the eraeder weights much less that a paper book and I can old it with one hand and switch when it gets tired.

I’m ashamed to say that I still have a few books (+/- 6) that I bought before the ereader and still haven’t read, I started one of them but gave it up, it so much easier with the eraeder, I still hope to read them, someday.

All ereader for both fiction and non-fiction books. I do, however, have to have a hard copy for text books. I've just never got the hang of marking up digital copies of books.

[sakura-panda]

All e-books, since my reason for getting an ebook reader was that I didn't have any place to stash my newest books.

I've been gradually getting rid of my "reading" paper books to make room for other books on my shelves. I'm basically the only novel reader in the house -- my son reads a lot but our favored genres are different -- so there is no need to save the books for other family or friends to read.

I'm actually clearing out my books to make room for *his* books; some years he can take his Kindle to school, but this year he can't and his paper collection is once again outgrowing the shelf space in his room.

[susan_cassidy]

All ereader since I got my first Kindle, in 2008. I read several hundred books a year. Often one books a day, or every 2 days. Except for technical books for work. Those I prefer in paper, although I have some as ebooks.
