I know we have several people on here who enjoy reading quite a bit. But, I'm curious as to the favorite format for each of you, as to how the material is delivered. I'm defintely old school...it's got to be a hardback. Love the feel of it in my hands, and everything about it. Absolutely hate paperbacks. My wife has gone the electronic route, first with the tablet/Kindle, and now with her phone. I can tolerate the tablet somewhat, but the whole phone experience makes me feel like I'm skimming over some Cliff's Notes for a high school English exam...constantly turning the page...don't like it at all.

 

What's your preference?

Maybe a mod can add a poll?

Definitely prefer hardback.

 

Tell me what options you want in the poll & I'll add one.

No real preference. I have a nook, enjoy reading on that. I have some hardbacks, and some paperbacks.

Real book.

Well, actually I ENJOY reading sprawled out naked as a jaybird on my bed. Not sure anyone else enjoys me reading that way.:idunno:

 

As far as the format...would prefer hardback but dang if I want to pay that much for a book knowing I can get it cheaper on paperback. I actually have a couple of coaching books, one by John Wooten, one by Tony Dungy that I need to start reading.

Definitely prefer hardback.

Don't forget @mcpapa ...stone tablets written in either hieroglyphics or Sanskrit.

Either paperback or Kindle app on my iPad.

HAS to be a physical book. Doesn't matter if its HB or PB. Tried daughter's reader (Nook) and couldn't stand it. My phone is a five dollar throwaway, so that's not an option.

Yeah, hard to read on one of these.

Hard or paperback

I chose other because I love to read. I'll read anything, including the backs of boxes. :lol2: But my absolute favorite are hard backs and paper packs. The feel and weight of the book, the smell of the pages, the action of turning the pages....reading a real bool is a far superior experience than any other way of reading.

I've always preferred having a physical book, but reading on the Kindle has grown on me quite a bit.
