Paper books. I'm a sucker for the real thing, owning a physical copy of a book. I love everything, from the cover to the smell, and just the accessibility of it.

E-Books are handy in a pinch, especially the library services if a physical copy is unavailable at the time, but I do love a paper book.

Hence why my house is a library.

I prefer paper books. I love the feeling of holding and owning a physical copy of the book.

E-books. I've got ADHD and my attention span is appalling. I'd always get distracted and stressed out by how much more of the book there was but with my kindle, it doesn't matter how long the book is, it's the same shape and size and weight, and all there is, is the one page that's in front of me. I also like that I can change the colour of the page, the colour/size and font type to make it work better for me. I've read more books in the last 18 months than I've read in my entire life!

e-books. they are cheaper and i am on a budget. i traveled to Australia and could not take a lot with me, especially as a speed-reader, so filling my kindle up was grand. Also, being disabled I can't physically hold up big books for long so a kindle lets me read them.
