How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?
I am a physical book kind of girl. I will read an ebook but I would prefer not to. Theres just something about turning the pages. The sound a hardcover makes when you open it for the first time. The beautiful covers you get to admire. The awesomness of having stacks upon stacks of books on your shelves, the smell......
OK, back to the question I was getting a bit lost in bookish land there. Hardcover or softcover it really just comes down to price most of the time. With my usually 4-5 book a week reading habit I take a discount wherever I can get it. Jeez what a rant ;)
I prefer paper books too but ebooks are so convenient. Your blog is so pretty!

I prefer eBooks like when I take the kids to the park... or when I'm in the tub (steam=crinkled pages=unacceptable)

I'm with you I love hard copy whether it be hardback or paperback. I can only manage to get in 2-3 books per week.

Have a nice weekend.
I love the hardback copies of books. I just gawk and stare at the book before reading it. Your blog looks so nice!

I love love love my E-reader but I think I comprehend what I'm reading better with hard copies. Besides the nostalgia of books, which is kinda sad to think about lol. Have a great Friday! New follower! ;)

I prefer soft over hard (simply for the weight/size), but I'm pretty evenly split between paper and e-book - both have their advantages, so I'll take whichever format I find first.

I read both ebooks and paper books, but I agree that paper is better. I sometimes buy the paper version of a book I read first on e-reader because I loved it so much I need to experience it as a "real"book. There are also some authors I only buy as paper books for the same reason

This was a nice book blogger question. My answer will probably embarrass me in comparison with my peers!
