Feature & Follow Friday #9

Labels: · Posted by at

"The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read."

Question: 
Q: What is your preferred reading format? Hardcover, eBooks or paperback?

Well I'm gonna start by saying that although I was totally against eBooks at first, I now love them! Yes they are convenient, you can carry thousands of books with you everywhere, you can buy them instantly while sitting at home in your fluffy bunny slippers & they are often very cheap! 

But what I love the most about eBooks is that so many great indie authors have been able to put their books out there for people like us to read :D

But…no matter how great eBooks are I will always love my printed books, especially hardcovers. I usually get my favourite books or series in hardcover.

What's so great about printed books you ask?

Well I love the feel of them my hands…the velvety dust jacket with the metallic embossed lettering…the crinkle of the paper as you turn the page and the smell…oh how I love the smell of a good book. Yes that's right, my secret is out - I sniff books!

Okay I got a little carried away there - I'll stop now ;)

    I was never against ereaders, I just didn't know why I would need one. Now I don't know what I would do without it!

      Totally agree! At the risk of sounding dramatic - my iPad has changed my life! :D

    I used to hate ebooks, and I somewhat still do. I don't know, I just think it's uncomfortable to read with them. Maybe it's because I don't have a proper ereader like Kindle.

    Following back :)

      I agree that sometimes they can be hard to read - I find if I read an eBook for too long my eyes get really sore, but they never do with a physical book. Although that's with an iPad, so maybe we should get proper eReaders haha :D

    Thanks for the follow, favor returned. I too disliked e-readers, but now I have one and it's very convenient, especially for taking to work, and for reading all the ebooks I have, as I dislike reading at the computer any more than I can help. But you're right, there is something about the feel and smell of a new paperback!

    Totally agree! Although ebooks are super easy to carry around, physical copies will always hold a special place in my heart.

      Thanks Daphne! There is definitely something special about holding a physical copy isn't there :)

    I love my ebooks. Not that I wouldn't love hard copies too but the ability to carry my library with me at all times is a huge plus.

      That's true - plus you have a choice of hundreds of books on file, rather than just the one book you can fit in your bag :D

    I was so against ebooks until I started blogging but now I read them all the time. Though printed books will always be my preferred choice.
    Thanks for stopping by and I'm following back! :-)

      Yep I think blogging has helped convert me to eBooks somewhat - it allows me to read so many more books!
      Sadly books are pretty damn expensive in Australia (even paperbacks), so I buy a lot from overseas and I hate having to wait 2 weeks before they arrive! eBooks a instantaneous! :D
