I like books, most of my life I have been reading paper/hardcover books but with the semi-recent digital craze of Nook and Kindle more and more people buy digital copies.
I've tried to read books on the Nook and Kindle (phone apps) and it never works out well for me. I find myself finishing the paper-back books more often then the digital copies. I think there is something to be said for an actual book in your hands as you read or going to the store to pick up the volumes and leaf through them.
Obviously I prefer real books to digital ones, what about you guys?
EDIT: whoops wrong forum...
TLDR: Book or Nook?

Edited by Ttasmmv: 8/20/2013 6:56:51 AMI think e ink e-readers surpass paper books in both comfort and functionality. You can fit a thousand books in the space of one, and regardless of its size it'll weigh the same. Book-marks are never lost, nor does the content deteriorate. Electronic books are more accessible and cheaper too. E ink e-readers are the future. (:- )

Real books for me

I have a bunch of classics that I downloaded legally for free. Books that aren't available that way I just buy used or whatever option is cheapest. I'll try to buy them in a nice hardcover style if I love them.

I dislike digital copies...last resort if anything.

I have a "old man" preference with a lot of things, books being one of those things. Those pieces of plastic my be able to hold multiple books, but I just prefer physical versions of any type of reading material whether it's book, newspaper or magazine.
