E reader vs Paper

Paper. It sucks when your book runs out of battery or accidentally deleted a book.

Another plus about ereaders: the ability to search for a certain word or phrase in a book. This does come in handy sometimes.

Paper. I like it when books have that new "I just came from Amazon and I was dirt cheap" smell.

Paper...

I'd much rather have a physical book in my hands.

It's just like how DC has digital comics on the internet, but if I wanted to read them, I'd buy back issues, hardcovers, or trades.

Nothing beats holding the paper in your hands, finding the right way to hold your book, or that dusty old book smell.

paper.

the aspect of holding a piece of paper to turn the page, won't ever quite replace the finger swipe on a tablet.

Plus unless you experience massive flooding or fire, your books are safe. you drop your tablet or e-reader, your in for some trouble.

Real books when I'm at home, e-Readers when I'm not.

It varies. As it goes for albums with paintings, photos or other reproductions I buy paper editions. Novels, short stories, poems etc - I stick to the e-ink. I have something over 3K books in my library and I came to conclusion that I don't get my money's worth from it.
