I use my kindle almost exclusively, but I have physical books that I collect.



Pretty much this.

I'm a huge fan of bound paper books, and share some people's fears that Kindles etc. will kill them off eventually, but darned if it isn't very, very convenient. Ereaders are particularly good if you like to read at the gym on the treadmill or on the train etc, cuz the pages don't flap everywhere. If you are at home it doesn't beat a bound book though.

I use kindle unless I already own the book. Don't have enough bookshelf space for more books.

for me its simple, the e-ink display is just like reading a page, and all my books are in one place, that takes up very little space, fits in my purse, and hardly ever needs charging. I like not having to return books to the library because I'm awful about it, and I can support fledgling Authors that self publish through Amazon.... like my friends, Zoltan Abraham and his wife Julie.

I've bought a few of the $.99 books, while they aren't always good, for a lot of people it's a start at getting feedback about how they could write better.
