i SUPER love reading a BOOK...but i can't anymore (since my brush w death), SOOO i use my Kindle and i love love love it. i got it for my birthday last year, it had been almost 2 years since i had read a book, oh how i missed it!!
I love reading a real book. There is something lost to me without the feel of the binding and the pages under my fingers. I like my e-readers - but I LOVE my books. Kiran
Definite two timer here. I find that with real books I'm far pickier about what I purchase. With the free options for my Kindle, I'm more adventurous with my selections. I swing both ways, book and ereader.
Lol! A two-timer . . . that's me! I don't have a Kindle, but I have the app on my iPhone. Yeah, it's a little small, but it's so convenient. I always have my phone with me.
I prefer real paper books. The kind you can earmark the pages with. There is just nothing like real books. I do have an eReader, a Nook Simple and I can read fine with it, I just prefer the hard stuff ;-)
i hate reading from eReaders. i'm a die hard old fashioned smell and hold the pages of a book. in fact, there's nothing i love more than smelling books in a bookstore. :)
3 in my family have kindles, but I don't. I so rarely have time to read anymore... it's not worth it and I could grab one of theirs if I wanted too. I guess I'm a page turner.
I don't like reading on my kindle fire....but it's great as a 2nd computer in our house when my husband and I don't want to share the computer ;) I love my old school kindle and regular books...the kindle is great for lying down though because you don't have to keep pages from falling in your face.
Bwaahaha. I'm only a two-timer with the massive stack of books that I had prior to my Nook. I figure that just because they are paper, doesn't mean I shouldn't read them. But can I just say how convenient it is to have something backlit while lying in bed at night? If they could figure out a way to backlight a book, I might just go back to the old world reads. OK, yes..there is that silly little book light but it's so heavy and it doesn't illuminate all that well...and...shall I go on?
I'm a two timer, but I prefer my books. One great thing about the ipad though is I can read in bed without disturbing Match, since the light is low and I can turn it to face me.
I have a massive book collection. There is nothing better than picking up a new book, smelling it, feeling it, studying the cover pic.
E readers are good for travelling especially on planes when you don't have the space to take a hundred books.
I don't have a kindle, kobo, sony reader etc, but I did just get my first iPad last week and have already downloaded my own two books onto it. They look so pretty sitting on my iPad bookshelf!
I follow you through bloglovin and when I clicked on the link to your blog I was looking down and reading my kindle. We have the same cover! I love my kindle SOOOOO much!! Nothing beats being able to take approximately 1500 books with you when you camp or go on a road trip. Though I still love books. I love the smell and feel of books :)
Where the hell have I been? I freaking love your new blog design. I guess I need to stop reading your blog in the emails only and actually click through and comment. Sorry I suck.
And by the way, I wish that I had a reader but I just have books, which I never have time to read anyways. Le sigh.

Oh, I'm a two-timer like you. Whatever happens to be closest to me. I often have 2 or 3 books on the go at a time as well.

Two timer all the way. I have shelves full of hard covers that I cannot part with and hundreds on my Nook.
I also like being able to go the the library and not paying for new books.

I spend enough time looking at a computer/phone screen - when I read, I want to do it the old-fashioned way. :o)
I use my iPad and my iPhone for reading but sometimes.....I want a real book. Like this next week....taking a REAL book to read on vacation.
My iPad will be keeping littles busy in the backseat anyway.

I'm a paper kinda gal. I like a real bookmark.
I dig your glasses.

Had no clue you were a two timer. Suprised this hasn't spread throughout town! ;) I haven't branched out into electronic world yet.
Total two-timer. And I don't just stop at books and my Nook. Magazines, blogs, cereal boxes. If there are words on it, I'm drawn to it.

What are you reading now?
PAPERBACKS! :) I love to hold a book, turn its pages!
Paper books, I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY!
I have to have a paper book- I can't do the e-readers
I prefer a real book in my hands but I do read both, love the savings for online books. So yes I guess I am a two timer :)

I'm in love with getting kindle books and audio books from the local library. It's the best service, ever!

I just got a shiny new Nook Color for my birfday and I am now officially a two-timer. I love 'em both!
I love my Nook Touch, but still love a good book with actual pages too.

I dont have time to read.. is that sad? Thats so sad. I have a nook.. that I use as a tablet and for my toddler. Thats sad too. Sigh.
I am deprived....I only know books. But I think if given the chance...I would love the other way. :)
I love that I can read in the dark with the iPad. And I can get awesome free digital books through our library.
