Flip Martian Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I find lots of books around the home make it feel more cosy, so while I intend to read all my books eventually, I have far more here than I've read yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Martian Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Also, be aware of eyestrain from reading on a tablet, so take breaks. E-readers (with e-ink) were conceived to be read and cause no eyestrain. Tablets are not the same in that regard, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I love most of my books! But like FM, I have more that I haven't read than I have read, but I love most of them, any that I don't like go to a charity sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCat Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I've answered this question before, but I love my Kindle and haven't read a book since I got it years ago. I don't like physical books anymore. But can you sniff the Kindle? Can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I find lots of books around the home make it feel more cosy, so while I intend to read all my books eventually, I have far more here than I've read yet.Oh I still have 100's of books I have a policy (not sure if I've mentioned it here before) of reading almost everything on my tablet, and if I enjoy something enough to want to own a hardcopy, then I buy a hardcopy. My aim is to eventually only own books I've loved.Except for samples (which are my TBR books) I "buy as I go" too. And I never buy unless I've read the sample. But can you sniff the Kindle? Can you?

bobblybear Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've mostly read paperbooks this year (going to the library a lot), but this week I have decided to pick my Kindle up again. I've forgotten how enjoyable it is, and I have to say I definitely prefer Kindle books to paperbooks. For one, the Kindle is lighter and easier to hold than a paper book. No need to worry about holding it so that the pages won't flip over while I'm reading. Also, I love being able to change the font size too. Kindle all the way for me.

setgoblen Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I admit, the actual fact of reading is more pleasant with a physical book. but I prefer using my tablet for reading books because it's easier to order, keep evidence, copy quotes, search text, read in the dark. Not to mention I can carry around thousands of books, or have access to virtually any book with a couple of taps on the screen. For me another plus is that I can listen to music that I can control (volume and track) with my tablet while I'm reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
