I prefer my paperbacks, so if they do eventually 'faze out', I will simply re-read the ones I already have:) I'm stubborn like that!Jennifer Snow https://www.blogger.com/profile/11612858248083325495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-63248820415399886102014-03-25T18:33:10.851-07:002014-03-25T18:33:10.851-07:00Dana, I love holding and reading a paperback.

It's physically more comfortable for me and I love the tangible 'history' a print book seems to possess...however, I did, out of necessity in this day and age, finally break down and buy a kindle fire just a few months ago. I have to admit it offers a lot in terms of convenience, although I still prefer reading paper.

I love to hold one of those books, orange around the edges of the pages, a little musty smelling. I save them for a few minutes of reading here and there, but I keep them close by. :-) Nothing beats a Kindle for travel though. No more tossing out clothes to pack the books!

Unfortunately, the kid books on the HOPI were not in Kindle, but we found two other books and both were under $2.00. This year, I also gave away all my RITA books to a church auction and bought the Kindle editions to judge.Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-44908548755255491972014-03-25T08:49:20.263-07:002014-03-25T08:49:20.263-07:00Well for me personally, I rarely buy a hardcover j...Well for me personally, I rarely buy a hardcover just because of the expense. It's a lot to plunk down on one book unless I'm pretty sure it's going to be lifechanging!

They didn't talk about mass market paperback, because they were wondering why the jump in hard cover books. They did think huge sales in certain books like 50 Shade or The Hunger Games can skew the general data for any given year.

I hope paper books are not a thing of the past because reading that way in a cozy corner or under a tree is an experience almost apart from the content of the story. But I love my Kindle, too. I'm not at all offended by its electronic soul - I love that I always have the right book with me if I end up in a doctor's office, waiting. I don't know what's going to happenMuriel Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065629068634892645noreply@blogger.com
