I usually just borrow from the library since I usually don't like to reread a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529540 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:58:18 +0000 ShootingStar 2529540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kindle all the way. I hate having physical books to lug around. I love having my entire library at my fingertips in one device. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529533 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:54:37 +0000 MaryM 2529533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it depends on their purpose. If it's light hearted reading that I probably won't read again, kindle. </p> <p>If it's something I want to be able to highlight and reference over and over again, I prefer having a physical book I can write in the margins of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529516 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:46:15 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2529516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading for fun and where I don't want or need to retain the information? E-books.</p> <p>If I am reading something to learn about it, I like the physical book. I just bought the Hamilton biography by Chernow to read, and I want to mark it up and really learn from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529483 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:20:14 +0000 Umbreon 2529483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really have a preference. I like taking my e-reader to work to read on my breaks - it's much lighter than a physical book and fits perfectly in my purse. </p> <p>I do prefer to buy physical books rather than books on my kindle though. Sometimes I feel like the price difference isn't enough and the kindle version should be cheaper. I read a lot of free books on my kindle though. </p> <p>I really really wish I could get library books on my kindle (I'm in Canada). If my kindle ever breaks I would probably switch to Kobo for that reason. But my Kindle was free, so that's why I have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529456 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 08:59:33 +0000 bushelandapeck 2529456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mix of E-books from the library and regular paper books. I like the convenience of E-books but the experience of regular books better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529446 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 08:52:53 +0000 GreeneB2 2529446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Overdrive and get them for free on my kindle from the library. I have Amazon Prime so I get a free book once a month from them, and every once in a while I'll buy a $2.99 kindle book from Amazon. Last hard cover I read was the Goldfinch, only because it was such a mammoth I couldn't read it and concentrate on my kindle. (I have the paperwhite, much better for the eyes!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529385 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 08:16:18 +0000 whiskers 2529385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love ebooks. Wish they were around when I was in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529377 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 08:13:15 +0000 josina 2529377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only read digital books anymore because its so convenient... I can go from my kindle to my phone if I forget it, and I LOVE that I'm only seconds away from a new book once I finish one. I usually borrow from the online library, rarely I'll buy a digital book if I just HAVE to read the next book in a series right now.<br /> *I was so against digital books too at the beginning, but now I never read physical books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529364 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 08:08:26 +0000 Adira 2529364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Physical books! I usually get a bunch of books for Christmas and my birthday and then I spend the year reading all of them. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529355 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 08:05:10 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2529355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Physical books. I'll take them all the ways. I usually borrow because, budget, but I'll buy books I've never read from authors I've never heard of if I have the extra cash/am really interested. I do enjoy audiobooks but I don't pay for an audible membership so I usually just listen to podcasts all day lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529342 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 07:58:13 +0000 lovehoneybee 2529342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want to like e-books, but I just don't. I much prefer having a physical book in my hand. I have a mix of new and used books. I've also been listening to an audio book at work lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529337 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 07:52:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 2529337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>library and if I really like it I'll go buy it. I have a Kindle but never use it, I like to physically turn the page! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529336 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 07:51:45 +0000 honeybear 2529336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Physical books. I get books that I suspect will not be re-read from the library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529335 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 07:49:37 +0000 erinbaderin 2529335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little bit of everything. I buy more books than I borrow from the library, because I tend to reread things. Mostly I buy them for my kindle because they're easier to transport and generally cheaper, and now easier to read one handed while I hold a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-books#post-2529332 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 07:46:13 +0000 Bao 2529332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you like reading E-books? Physical books? From the library? Do you buy them new or find used? </p> <p>I do a mix between books from the library and purchasing them in paper form. I only buy books I know I'll really like, maybe a favorite author or book in a series. If I'm unsure I just borrow. I prefer physical books over my kindle, something about the book in my hand! </p>
