dru's book musings 
I love the feel and smell of “real” books (print). In recent years, though, I’ve moved to buying e-books for a couple of reasons. First, I’m a helpless hoarder. I am loathe to give away any books I acquire. E-books help out with that problem as virtual books don’t take up nearly as much acreage. A second reason is that I’ve grown accustomed to being able to adjust the print size of what I am reading. This helps reduce the chance of eye strain and probably postpones the need for reading glasses for a couple of more years. 😀

It’s interesting. I read both print and ebooks equally. But my purchasing habits are different. I buy print books more than ebooks. I think it’s because if I love a book (series) I want to have the print version, and because there are so many free ebooks out there I don’t need to buy as many. However there are some authors I autobuy on kindle.

I like all formats, but holding onto a hard bound book is difficult for me. It’s even more difficult for me to hold open a paperback, but I have a good book holder, so it’s possible. Unless I lose a hard copy or my sight, I will always have my book. I buy many CDs and download them to iTunes, so I can listen on my cell phone. Sometimes I download audiobooks.

I get most of my books from the library. For popular ones, I’ll request both the print and the ebook and read whichever version comes in first.

I still head toward print books whenever possible, but have taken to reading my Kindle in bed because I can turn off the light and it’s easier to hold for long periods of time. I can’t imagine a home with out shelves of real books, but I would truly miss the walking library I hold in my Kindle.

I prefer reading print books, but I got a Kindle/app about 4 years ago, so my ebook collection is rapidly growing. I like to read ebooks when travelling and it’s also useful to find/buy out-of-print books.

I love print books … the smell and feel but read e-books more because as I get older, print books are harder to read and I can change the font size on the e-books. Thank you for this chance!

While I love the feel of paper or hard books I have no room so I buy ebooks. My Kindle is full.

I got started reading e-books because the book I wanted to read was only available as an e-book, and it was one of a series I had been reading in print. After awhile I was hooked-partially because our local bookseller closed, and partially because e-books are cheaper, don’t fill my over-flowing shelves, and are available almost instantly. I still buy favorites in print format, and I do get as many library books as possible to save money and kindle space. Honestly, with my arthritis, the kindle is easier to hold than a heavier book. But bottom line? I just want to read!

I love both styles of books, but I have a lot more regular books. However, my favorite way to read right now is on my phone. I have an autoimmune disease that sometimes make my arms weak. I don’t mind turning the pages of the ebook often. You get in a groove.
I’d also like to give a shout-out to libraries! They keep me supplied with a lot books. And librarians are awesome.

I spend more time with my Kindle. If one of my tried and true authors has a new book I signup at the library to get my turn to read it. Being on SS is a bummer.

I like to have a “real” book in my hands especially when waiting with my husband for his dr appts which are many. For the car I love audio books. Had a 120 mi round trip to work for over 9 years – would have gone mad without them to pass the time especially when snow/ice made the journey very long. I do have a Kindle app on my laptop and use it if that’s the only form in which I can get the book. Hubby loves his Kindle.
Thank goodness for 2 wonderful library systems nearby. When I do buy books we have a small group that passes them around, then I donate them to the library.

Thanks for the giveaway! I’ve been looking forward to reading this series. I used to ride horses when I was younger. I love collecting cozies in print but I also enjoy the convience of my Kindle. I usually read ebooks that aren’t available in print or I buy a second copy as an ebook so I don’t have to pack a suitcase just for my books.

I like Kindle books, but it really bothers me that I can’t trade, sell or give them away after I’m done — especially the ones that cost almost as much as the print version! That is a big plus for print books. I’d love to win Reining in Murder — sounds like a good read!

Love horses and stables, would really enjoy reading “Reining in Murder”. I prefer reading real books, especially since some ebooks are the same price as a paperback. Reading ebooks makes my eyes hurt after a little while because I don’t blink enough and my eyes dry out.
