Answer #1

Real books.

Answer #2

real books.

Answer #3

I got a kindle over a year ago. I’ve read only six or so “real” books since then, but, I’ve read over 50 on the kindle. Ya, I read - a lot :)

Thing is, when you read a ton…and you’re busy and you travel, the kindle is indispensable. Honestly, I can’t see ever reading - regularly - “real” books again.

Answer #4

I like real books because I love the satisfaction of finishing it, especially large books.

Answer #5

Lol, this is weird, but I like the papery smell of real books and always turning the page and getting closer to the end :3

Answer #6

Me too :)

Answer #7

I’ve never had a kindle. But I would probably love real books for the rest of my life :)

Answer #8

Paper books, please. And hardcover preferably :P

Answer #9

I prefer real books, since Kindle kills my profit. Then when they start reading to people it will kill my pocket book twice as much. Keep buying books! Us authors will love you for and keep writing what you love to read!
