Everything you said a...I agree with this post %100. Everything you said about physical books versus e-books is completely true; they're just not the same. I would never read a book off of my computer; it's the same with an e-reader. A screen will never compare to a page. Perhaps for some books, like nonfiction, I could handle an e-reader, but fiction will always be bound and covered for me. Half of the experience is holding the book in your hands. It's comforting to know that book lovers still exist amongst a world obsessed with making an electronic version of everything.vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672426277063088985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28070080.post-17933220475534317452011-03-10T19:59:07.545-05:002011-03-10T19:59:07.545-05:00I have a Nook color & love it.

I'm sorry, but a lot of you just hate them because it's the new thing. It's time you all come to terms with it.Meganhttp://modernlizbennet.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28070080.post-57878025625956727032011-02-27T11:33:29.280-05:002011-02-27T11:33:29.280-05:00Brilliant post!

I'm glad its not just me who can't stand the Kindle and alike.<br /><br /> I love the culture that comes with the physical book, from buying for the first time, to storing in boxes, and to getting lost in the book all over again when you pick it up again after a few years!<br /><br />You can lose track of time in a bookshop, definitely not the same when downloading takes a couple of minutes!Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412548470974876223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28070080.post-5766429849122073582011-02-03T00:59:28.818-05:002011-02-03T00:59:28.818-05:00You've touched on all the reasons why I don...You've touched on all the reasons why I don't have an e-reader and don't want one.

I also don't mind repeating the same process all over again on a nearby bookstore... whether I'm looking for a specific book or not~<br /><br />With the others I have different reasons though, but it's the same with me that I also prefer the physical book more than the digital one.Sapphire Pyrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916523371683080586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28070080.post-41296916992159973732010-09-08T10:40:52.523-04:002010-09-08T10:40:52.523-04:00Great post!Great post!Sangeetanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28070080.post-36601367105515099792010-09-07T11:36:10.832-04:002010-09-07T11:36:10.832-04:00Aw, this makes me want to go book shopping.
