What book format do you like best?

Would you rather read eBooks or ones you can hold?

Kindle all the way, never thought I would say that but I love mine. Have tried a tablet to read on but didn't like that it has to be a kindle for me.

Hi AutumnColour I have never had a Kindle but prefer paper books. I like the ability to flick back and forth between pages with easy and I think this is more achievable with paper.

You can do that with a kindle it also remember last page you read and can return to that on any device. So reading on the kindle it can open to same page on a tablet or computer too.

Although I love my kindle for travelling, at home I would always prefer the physical books.

I like both. I tend to buy physical books if there is a series I'm collecting (McCall-Smith or Pratchett for example) and Kindle for new authors that I wish to sample. Plus you can't beat a Kindle for travelling.

I agree with you there Meg although the only physical books I have are various animals / birds, books that have to do with our sanctuary.

Other than that I love Kindle but don't exactly own a 'Kindle' device. I can't afford it Still though I read books on my phone with a 4" screen, ha ha! My hubby & I were very used to a 13" TV when we did watch TV. It never bothered us at all.
So....my phone at 4" is no problem for me. I have over 100 books in my archive (storage) & working on 2 right now.

I take my phone to bed & set the background for black w/white letters as it's easier on the eyes in the dark.

FINALLY, Meg (whew!), I do find it hard to go back into the book & forth but maybe the real Kindle device is easier.
Luckily I don't usually have a reason to jump back in the book but with animal/bird stuff I do.
