You can't beat a book, but I have used a Kindle for years I've used a Kindle for practical reasons - easy to carry etc

Paper. I use technology all the time, its nice to just read a proper book sometimes.

Paper - there is something about holding a book that makes the act that much more; also i do love the smell of a book. I also think that having a collection of books in physical form leads more openly to discussion, and can be easily passed around from family to friend, adding a whole social and psychological meaning. Finally, a well stocked bookcase, like a pet, makes a house a home.

I read both because I review books for Amazon Vine

IMO a Kindle/equivalent technology is a no-brainer, I appreciate there is a romance and tradition of a physical book etc (and being a romantic it does also appeal to me), but the fact is the story is the same whatever platform it is read on, which is the the only real concern when reading a story; but beyond that the technology is just so much more convenient, more environmentally friendly, if that is something that concerns you; it (should be) cheaper and also allows you to download another book instantly, or bring multiple book when away for an extended period without taking up anymore room.

I don't read a lot of books but I do like a hardback.

'Arrowood' by Mick Finlay was a good read, an alternative to Sherlock Holmes, 'Takedown' by Stephen Leather for something a bit more contemporary.

Kindle wins for me but I still dip in and out of paperbacks.

Paper all the way! Paperbacks ideally since I tend to read whilst travelling. Still haven't come round to the idea of Kindles etc just yet

Kindle for me this last few years .

I have both, but am increasingly returning to paper. The feel is better, it doesn't require charging; and it turns out a lot of what I want to read is cheaper printed first or second hand.

That all said, e-readers do free up space and weight when traveling.

because I travel so much I have to use a kindle but there is no real comparison, a book is so much better. thedame007 got it spot on
