I’m legally blind. The ebook evolution has been the worlds greatest gift. I can read print again! I no longer have to hold a several pound book up to my nose for hours at a time. I can hold my half pound kindle paperwhite and read comfortably. It’s. Amazing.

Because they charge way too much for e-books.

This is the truth. Many times you can get the printed book cheaper

The issue with e-books is that entry into the market is now relatively simple and overall quality is lacking. Want to go wading and hope to find something worthwhile? Print books are still vetted by editors.

I love the convenience of ebooks but physical books are wonderful objects of delight.

I look at a screen all day for work. I want to give my eyes a break and read a physical book.

I like look and feel of a real book in my hands. Turning each page in anticipation of what happens next is on the real!

I’ve read a few books on a device. It’s “ok”, but much of what I read I also mark up in pencil. Also, clunky when looking for a passage or whatever. Thumbing back is so much better with paper book than flipping back e-pages forever. I’m back to paper books

You can set bookmarks and even under line or highlight significant passages. I'm even able to borrow and return books.

Yes, I’ve tried that & have a kindle, kobo, & phone. Just not 4 me. I read many yrs ago that when ppl read text on screen, 4 some reason part of processing in brain is done by same part used 2 play video games. Interesting - I have no problem w/novels, but do w/academic works.

Self-publishing & Amazon pushing its titles probably haven't helped much. There's a lot of bad books to wade through. Also, Kindle (& Fire) devices don't last very long, ebooks are expensive, & note-taking is limited & awkward.

I've given money to charities, showed up to work at charities and have lead teams of volunteers and let me just say this, someone like Kenya would have been pulled aside or sent home for the way she was speaking to volunteers. She made Habitat for Humanity look bad.

Haven't picked up my Nook in four years. Much prefer an actual book in my hands. the Nook is nice for trips, but haven't used it now for a long time.

It's easier to flip back and forth with a book. I like my ereader when traveling but at home prefer real books.
