Books: Digital or physical?

[Hrafn]

Physical whenever possible

[Gusse]

I have never read a digital book. Always physical. Currently I am reading Isaac Asimov's foundation series.

Physical :).

Both, we have a lot of books here and I do like to read them, if I need something fr school or something I will go digital

I have a kindle and it is good to read, but I do still like actual books most of the time

[Borter]

I read books both digital and physical, it depends on the availability. I don't have a special book reader device, and would never buy a kindle because I don't like the way amazon acts and that amazon destroys the local shops.

@Borter I agree that Amazon kills local economies and puts local people out of jobs

I prefer the iPad... easier, physical books for the coffee table.

digital books are more affordable and modern, but i'll always prefer physical books - especially ones i own myself. there's just something so authentic and satisfying about them.

I think it's the tactile sensation of  holding the book and turning the pages.

I do prefer physical books. I hate reading in digital platforms.

I always preferred physical books, but more recently I've actually turned to audiobooks. I know some purists will hate that. But I have huge drives and I prefer to get information from books or podcasts over just listening to the radio.

I have a kindle for emergencies, like when I travel and I run out of books, but I find if I read on it, I don't remember what  I read, and I normally remember a lot. I think it has to do with visual memories

I prefer physical books. Reading them does not make the same big effort to the eyes like reading a digital book.

I prefer physical. I have trouble reading lots of text on a screen. Short messages and emails fine but scrolling through long letters, instructions and books I prefer to look down a page I'm holding in my hand
