So last week I was really early for work. I started at 6pm but arrived around 5 since I dropped mrsdpt off at her workplace before so made no sense to go back home tor 20 mins.

Anyway...

I took a song of fire and ice with me to read, trying to read them all before April

A few other guys turned up about 20 mins later and said does anyone actually read books now, why don't you get a kindle?

So does anyone actually read books now, or does everyone just use kindles?

I also bought "A knight of the seven kingdoms" yesterday so a song of fire and ice is on hold for a few days.

I definitely read books! My whole Stephen King collection - and that's a big collection! It alone is about thirteen hundred pages - is in book form and I always have a book in my bag.

Plus the three ebook reader apps I have on my phone.

Books all day and all night,the kindle is probably great for holidays etc but the feel of a book is much better (shit I'm a dinosaur )

Can I pop over and steal your collection?

I only buy books as I find I don't concentrate with text on a tablet. Books are better.

Hmmm... yes but not Salem's Lot. Someone once lost my copy of that, they bought me a new one and now I actually have three copies of it so I'm never without a copy of it again.

Real books all the way for me. Kindles and the like feel too cold and soulless for me. I like the feel of a book in the hands, the way you can flick through the pages, the smell of the paper.

I'm sure ebooks have their place, like if you're on holiday etc, but I won't be changing over to them anytime soon.

I like kindles and books.

At the moment, being back at uni it's a lot of text books to read, but I do like both.

The kindle will be perfect for me if I ever go on holiday (I've had it 4 years and not done so far!) as I used to take 5/6 books with me!

I still re-read my books though and borrow from the library. The kindle is good for just getting cheap stuff to see what it's like, if I wanted anything other than escapist chick lit I would definitely get a proper version!

I couldn't do without books. I tried a kindle but I couldn't cope with staring at the backlit screen for hours and hours.

I like having books, seeing them on the shelf and strewn around the house brings comfort and gives me great pleasure.

You can buy kindles that don't have a backlit screen.

Another question.

Anyone fussed for first editions?

I paid £9 for a knight of the seven kingdoms from asda, looked on eBay and the first editions are about £35.

Unless the first editions come with super powers then nope,the enjoyment is from the reading not the bragging rights.

Can't beat the real thing for me,i find reading from a screen to be rather soulless. I enjoy the entire process of rooting round old book shops ect. Something about the smell entices me, and once I start a book I hate putting it down.... A screen doesn't have the same effect...

I like books, I have the kindle app for my tablet but that's purely for books that are out of print like supervert, I just like the feel, the smell and the overall look of a book
