So far over 1/3 of us have read a pbook this week. More than I expected.

I last read a pbook at the beginning of this month. I probably would have read more of them, but they're mostly all packed away now in preparation for a move. Normally I read more pbooks than ebooks in a month, though.

I don't like the physical experience of reading a dead-tree book any more. Ebook reading is much more attractive.
But I did start reading a dtbook just over a month ago when I was having a sort-out of dt books that I still have. I chucked it out after reading a few chapters. There was a reason why it had languished unread on the shelf for so long. I don't buy dtbooks any more apart from cookery books. |

For myself, over six months ago (in the spring), I read a library hardcover because it wasn't available as an eBook. I no longer purchase pBooks for myself, I only borrow them, for comfort/space/clutter reasons.
For my children, today, yesterday and every day since they were old enough to pay attention. We own and borrow many children's pBooks. I do read eBooks to them, but the selection is still pretty small compared to our library's generous selection. On a separate note with pBooks, I have always had issues with the various formats, but now that eBooks are an option, I have no motivation to put up with them. I loathe reading hardcovers - I find them heavy, uncomfortable and difficult to hold open while reading in bed. I tolerate reading trade paperbacks, as long as they have the nicer paper that hardcovers use. I prefer the size of the MMPB, but I hate the narrow margins, how I have to crack the spine in order to read close to the gutter, and I can't stand newsprint paper, especially if it is an older one that has begun disintegrating. I loathe reading newspaper - the texture and ink transfer are very annoying. I like reading magazines, but any that have a female audience are ruined by the stupid perfume inserts. So my reading for the near and distant future is likely to be 99% digital. I can wait for any title - there's plenty on my TBR list to choose from. |

Horror!
![]() I just realized that my Christmas present for myself this year actually is a paper book! A memoir that isn't available as eBook. Wonder how I'll cope reading it!! (I had forgotten about it until I was wrapping up the copy I got for my daughter.) |

eh, sometime in the last month for me, I think. But really, that's only because I'm a student and have to read stuff I can't get as an ebook (or need the paper version to cite page numbers, or something). If I didn't have to do that, I think it would be much longer.

I started Lucid Intervals by Stuart Woods in dead-tree format, finished on my NookColor, just so i could increase the print size on demand. I love my reader for that, but I won't recommend the book so hardily.

Earlier this month I finally got time to sit down and finish the Chronicles of Narnia. The big paperback version the way it goes story wise starting with the magicians nephew and so on. I haven't read any of them since I was younger and I got it from a friend.

I wanted to read that as well, as I have only read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Unfortunatly, I lent it to someone who never returned it. I may replace it one day.

I wonder if it's just that not very many people have last read a pbook between six months and a year ago, or if the option was just too complicated so people chose another.

I've read 22 pbooks this year (42% of total books read). With the prices as they are and no easy library lending in Canada for Kindles yet I still read a lot of paper.

I haven't read a pbook since I got my reader. I still read newspapers for now, but my subscription ends at the end of the year and I will switch to rss feeds built in Calibre.
