You can't slam them shut when a beloved character does something incredibly stupid or when the author decides to end the book without actually answering any questions. And, as one of my friends says, "you don't get the *sensation* of turning the page" with e-readers. I also don't like not being able to see how many pages are left; a percentage is just not the same. Actual books have this tangible feeling to them that e-readers definitely lack. I'm not a neat-freak, so the greater amount of space needed to store paperbacks/hardcovers doesn't bug me. E-readers have games--so what? that's what iPods/phones/tablets/computers are for.<br /><br />And btw, I you did a good job, Gracie ;) sorry I couldn't help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920179807518874784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757295168504470991.post-10318812718116105722013-06-25T12:17:35.150-04:002013-06-25T12:17:35.150-04:00I've seen Kindles, but never used one.

Now, don't go blabbing it so that Kindle-Lina can hear you...Although if you carry more than 3 around they can get a little heavy (have your ever weighed yourself with your books in your hand) And the pages can get stuck if you are eating Mike and Ike candies and they start to melt in your hand and the pages also can get torn if you have a very active granddaughter who wants to see what you are reading and...wait...did I say I loved paperback...let me re-think this for a minute and get back to youAuthor B Swangin Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12166972216859979865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757295168504470991.post-36811760909087378442013-06-23T11:16:01.727-04:002013-06-23T11:16:01.727-04:00oops! who knew I wasted so much time turning page...oops! who knew I wasted so much time turning pages?<br />Maureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757295168504470991.post-64408802880509873592013-06-23T11:03:40.935-04:002013-06-23T11:03:40.935-04:00A hardcover book is to have and to hold...the frag...A hardcover book is to have and to hold...the fragrance, I hate to call it a smell, the texture of the paper and binding, the artistry of the font and layout!<br />Paperbacks? Not so much.<br /><br />E-reader? Goggi is right about the font size, reading with out glasses is like the fountain of youth, especially when you don’t remember where you left your glasses.<br />And who new I wasted so much time turning pages?<br />Sitting on the beach? Finished reading Roses and Daisies and Death, Oh MY....tap tap and you have Roses Are Dead, My Love.<br />The best has to be the dictionary!<br /><br />Kindle wins!<br />Maureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757295168504470991.post-29351254049952633022013-06-21T15:23:17.881-04:002013-06-21T15:23:17.881-04:00I fought the e-reader for a long time.

While I do enjoy the convenience of being able to download a book anytime/anywhere, I still prefer to turn pages the old fashioned way. Nice job Grace :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
