TGIF - Time to Hop!
5:44 AM
So, the question of the week is: Do you prefer reading printed books or using an e-reader?
- Well, not so long ago, I refused to even hold an e-reader in my hand. I loved "real" books too much—I loved the feel of them, the smell of them, the whole bit. Then, NetGalley came along and I needed a way to read e-galleys (I still won't read a book on my computer!). So, I caved and bought a Kindle Fire. And guess what? I love it. I didn't think I would, but I do, I really do. These days, I still mostly read printed books, but I enjoy a fair amount of e-books (most of which are e-ARCs), too. I'm no longer anti e-readers because I believe what Stephen Fry said: "Books are no more threatened by [e-readers] than stairs by elevators." Too true.
If you're new to BBB, welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Please take a moment to look around my blog, make a comment (or two or ten) and, most importantly, come back often. I promise to return the favor.
Happy reading!

I hadn't heard that quote about e-readers. Love it! I used to be against them too. Until I got one. Sigh! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great quote.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are the same person! When everyone starting going on and on about how much they loved their ereader, I immediately went on this huge spiel about how printed books were 100% better. I had my ipad for about 4 months and one day when I was sick, I caved. I really wanted to read Catching Fire and had no energy to drive over to the bookstore. Instant gratification, I guess haha. And I love NetGalley and hate having to read on the computer. For books that are already published, I definitely go buy the real printed copy!
