Ebooks vs paper

[cjsmith]

What are your thoughts on Kindle (or other electronic format) versus paper books?

I’ve got an unwieldy paper library and am starting to collect books in Kindle format. I suspect Kindle will be my preference for fiction, since I go through that quickly and it’s a lightweight way to carry a lot. Browsing is awkward in electronic format, leading me to think I’d rather have paper cookbooks, but the nondestructibility of a tablet in a case is also attractive in the kitchen.

Which kinds of books do you prefer to have in which formats?

I prefer paper.

There are those who swear by ereaders.

I say, each to their own.}:)

True enough. :)

I’m in an acquisitive phase, and I know there’s just no more space I’m willing to dedicate to paper books. I’m trying to see if I could ever really get comfortable with electronic format, and if so, can I get comfortable more quickly. Jury is still out.
