I know there is a book thread but couldn't find it. So simple question how do you read books.

Do you still use the classic paper book or do you use a kindle/nook/tablet?

Edit: For the record I use a Kindle Fire, but have no objection to buying regular books for show.

I read a good old cover to cover when I get the chance, but I also use a tablet at times, especially when it's a fan fiction.

I'd love to use my Kindle more often, but I still mostly read printed copies of books. It just seems like almost every time I look for something I want to read, the more affordable option is to buy it in paperback.

I generally read books on my Samsung Galaxy Blaze which I have the Kindle app on. That way I dont have to carry around my phone and Kindle.

Nothing beats a good ol' hardcover/paperback authentic physical book. As for the e-readers, it's much more easier to carry around, obviously. But for me, I can't shake off the feeling that something's missing. But that's just me.

It's the book smell. If eReaders blasted you with new/old book smell there would be no need for printed books ever again.

I read "real" books as well as eBooks on my Kindle Touch. Lately I've been reading exclusively on my Kindle however, there is just something super appealing to me about having almost an entire library in my pocket.

For all future Ereaders there needs to be a scent exhaust port of some kind. Every time you turn the page you get a whiff of that smell.

Kindle, of the e-Ink variety (ie, not a Fire). Obsessed with it.

Ah, yes, that smell every book comes with that I used to have to air out every time I got a book because it would always make me gag. Thanks for reminding me I'm not missing anything, guys.

i've got the Kindle app for my iPhone, so i've got a few free classics and some select books i purchased on it for reading, but to be honest i've got a crapton of books of my own that i read through all the time — old favorites and all.

as for how i read them? usually with my eyes. :3

Very poshly.
I prefer reading physical books and when I do (which is not often due to time constraints) I usually have my dressing gown on and have a glass of cider with me.
I love that new book smell.
