Real books… or by Internet… I read both… But for long… I prefer to buy a real book and feel it on my hands…
I'm alone with this?

No, I'm with you. Prefer reading an actual book over a screen anytime! |

Real – do not enjoy reading electronic books |

Paper books for me, constantly. |
| GatorDave | 11 Apr 2018 11:10 a.m. PST |
Both. Lot's of light reading on the Kindle. The good stuff on paper. |
| whitphoto | 11 Apr 2018 11:11 a.m. PST |
I've been known to print out e-books so I can read them |
| Frederick | 11 Apr 2018 11:13 a.m. PST |
Love reading books – not as many as I used to or would like (that cursed work) but I try at least one or two a month And books is books! Tried the e-books, did not like them |

Real paper hard copy books only. I even have trouble reading some of the longer posts here. |
| Ragbones | 11 Apr 2018 11:46 a.m. PST |
Real books. I really don't like reading lengthy items on a digital device. Neither do my eyes. And there's something both comforting and connective about holding a book in your hands and turning a page. |

I detest PDFs and hate spending money on them. I can find my way through a hard copy book much faster than search and scroll. Combined with bookmarks its much easier to reference any ebook. |
| 15th Hussar | 11 Apr 2018 12:03 p.m. PST |
Both (but Elec versions on Kindle/Nook, not PC or some such). |
| robert piepenbrink | 11 Apr 2018 12:06 p.m. PST |
Both. But but for different reasons. The kindle is a lot easier to pack than a several hundred book library, and I can order a new book in a restaurant and be reading it before they deliver the salad. (And I can adjust the font.) That said, paper books are a lot easier to scan and--given I'm at home--I can pull a book off my shelves faster than I can find it on my kindle. Mostly. Also the more someone might disapprove of it, the more I want a paper book. I'm getting a little tired of people editing out the parts of an author they which conflict with the zeitgeist. |
| jdginaz | 11 Apr 2018 12:33 p.m. PST |
I have and read both types. some of them both in hardcopy and electronic. |

I read lots of books, perhaps 4 or 5 per month. Most of what I read is on an e-reader. After several years of this I admit that nothing is better than having a real book in ones hands but I really hate the process of getting rid of the hard copy that I have read. |

Books … that's like a bound printout, right? |

I usually read 2-3 books a month (the old fashioned kind) |

Real books… I always have a novel on the go (they last about a week) and a "proper" history book. And my library is regularly used to look things up (although the Internet is also often used. |
| ZULUPAUL | 11 Apr 2018 2:19 p.m. PST |
Books, real ones. Never on kindle etc for me. |
| tyroflyer2 | 11 Apr 2018 2:27 p.m. PST |
Books. Not remotely interested in the electronic versions. |
| zoneofcontrol | 11 Apr 2018 2:37 p.m. PST |
I'm a paper and ink guy. I can do some reading on electriconic devices but not for extended periods of time. |

Both, although I've gone mostly with my kindle now, since I have access to a large library of books (storing my real book collection was becoming a problem) and instant access to new books. |

Real books – have never finished one on line. |
| Syrinx0 | 11 Apr 2018 4:30 p.m. PST |
I read both. The authors I collect are paper, the ones I just want to read are on my nook. Definitely easier to travel with the electronic library. |
| Walking Sailor | 11 Apr 2018 5:17 p.m. PST |
Real (dead tree) books.
Last Friday, I took a four hour road trip with friends to a rare book store. They collect first editions. I bought two and a newer one (Catmas Carols). On the drive home, I sang until she made her husband take the book from me. Then he sang a carol. A good time was had by all. Now, I've got two more books on the stack.

Real. I've done a few eBooks, but paper is just more satisfying. |

Both, with a inclination towards e-books lately, as the physical books are mostly in storage in preparation for an eventual move. Doug |

Prefer real books, but have bookmarked a few electronic titles. |
| Cyrus the Great | 11 Apr 2018 9:09 p.m. PST |
Both, but I prefer actual books. |
| Dagwood | 12 Apr 2018 1:07 a.m. PST |
All three, internet, electronic and real books. I prefer the latter, but use electronic while on holiday (to reduce weight) and I use the internet as a reference library. |
