I ...YAY BOOKS! Your library, BTW, looks amazing :)<br /><br />I just started reading ebooks on my little Android tablet. I love the convenience, but I really, really miss holding the actual book. It's a pain in the butt to flip back and find something you want to reread or check, and the percentage complete isn't close to satisfying. Sigh. It's the future, I know, but I like the past.Liz Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160510626027597666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080048310531382107.post-67653184167991826652014-06-10T08:14:48.166-07:002014-06-10T08:14:48.166-07:00I love reading paper books, but I've started d...I love reading paper books, but I've started doing the vast majority of my reading on the treadmill. With a Kindle, you can enlarge the font and it's really easy to turn pages. With a book, you have to try to get it to stay open enough to read it and it's almost impossible to see on that stand. So I'm pretty much a Kindle convert now!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080048310531382107.post-74229427088296235972014-06-09T05:28:22.278-07:002014-06-09T05:28:22.278-07:00Hi Diana ..

I read ebooks, but I will always choose a printed book if I have the option. I just love holding an actual printed book in my hands. I also have a ritual where I have to smell the book before I read it. My husband thinks I'm weird. I once convinced him to smell a book so he could understand the thrill. He still doesn't get it. Oh well!L.G.
