ebook-vs-printI used to work with a girl who never bought books–NEVER bought books.

Before you light your torches and sharpen your pitchforks I should probably mention she does READ books–she reads all the time; however, she only reads e-books, and only if they are free.

I’ve known people on both sides of the spectrum: those who only read e-books (old coworker) and those who only read paperbacks (my mother).

I’m sure most of you, like me, fall somewhere in the middle.

My personal philosophy: It doesn’t matter as long as you read.

Let me make a confession: I was once one of those people who used to touch, dust, and eye-caress my paperbacks, swearing to them I’d never betray them by downloading an e-book. Yeah, well I also swore I’d never join Facebook and twitter, so . . . (cough, cough)

  1. If I had space and money, I’d have a library stretching from floor to ceiling; but I don’t. I love the feel of real books, they are like treasures to me. But life changes… I can now pack virtually all of my worldly possessions in my car (I have no ‘home’ anymore and live with my daughter’s family) and I carry my library on my Kindle. I am so grateful for ebooks… without them, the loss of my ‘real’ books would burn a hole in my soul, But one day – one sweet and wonderful day – I want a house with a fully stocked, floor to ceiling library!
