It's an Ipad Made of Trees...

I was roaming around the internet and stumbled across this image, which at first made me chuckle.  But then, it made me a little sad inside.  In this electronic age, how many people actually still read books? Yes I know there are many of us that read, but... who still picks up a book rather than an e-reader or a tablet? I for one, still love to pick up a good book. My e-reader is used mainly when I am on the go and don't have the space to pack a few books with me.  I love holding a book, turning the pages just, the whole experience of flipping pages back and forth rather than holding an e-reader or tablet and just turning the page with a swipe of my finger on the screen. It's just not the same.

Book VS E-Reader: Which is best?

I only recently purchased an e-reader. I got a crazy good deal on a Kobo Glo. For the longest time, I wouldn't even consider purchasing one. My main argument was that I really preferred reading an actual book. Which is better?

I like them both. It was nothing for me to be sitting somewhere and pull a book out of my purse. I always had a book with me if my purse was big enough to hold it. My e-reader is just the same size dimension wise (not thickness of a book of course)

The e-reader is great.. it's very portable and I can store more than one book on it at a time. I am one of those people who normally have anywhere from 1 - 4 books on the go. I blame my short attention span.

But there is just something about opening up a brand new book, cover not cracked.. or picking up an old classic and the smell of the book.. there's just something about it I love


So which do you prefer? Book... or E-reader?
I am not convinced one is really that much better than the other. I am still holding on to both.
