   Which do you prefer digital books or the good old fashioned paperback and hard bounds?
   
   I have lots of ebooks on my computer but I still prefer flipping pages and the smell of old books.  Which do you prefer digital books or the old fashion books?

   There is nothing like snuggling up in bed with a real book, drink & snack -- no adverts & just enjoying the story !
   
   E books are handy for learning but cannot take the place of a real book !

   I don't think that anything could ever replace a book. I've never had a digital reader, and doubt that I ever will.

   I am in absolute agreement with free; but regrettably, when enough libraries are cut back on their revenue, except for possibly bestsellers, we may see the demise of hard bounds. I fervently hope this doesn't occur though.

   Paperbacks are definitely my favorite! Can't read off of a computer screen. Just not the same.

   I prefer the "good old fashioned paperback and hard bounds" myself. I have tried to read books on a computer and even on the kindle and google book apps on phone. There's just something different about it that makes it harder to read for me.

   Nothing beats the classic, I vote for paper back and hard bounds. I love it when you flip the pages, it brings more excitement, compare to digital books. ^ ^

    Nothing like the solid feel of a real, old-fashioned hardback. I can pull it to my chest, close my eyes and breathe it in.

    As convenient as digital books are, I have to admit that I still prefer hard-cover books...

    I love both, but I love my kindle more. When I travel its easier to carry more than 10 books and I can buy more books in the middle of the night. It took a bit to get used, but I'm over it now. Same way I went kicking and screaming into digital photography.
