This is why I am buying a Kindle. I love reading but there isn't much room left for storing them all. At least this way I can store 3000+ in a small compuer.

Kindle Karma. I love books, but the Kindle is amazing for people who read a lot but don't have a lot of space!
I'm book obsessed too! 😀 Don't think I'd ever have a kindle though, I just love books, the way they feel and the art that comes with them and to quote Giles 'They smell' lol 😀

totally agree! For me it's a matter of logistics. Also Giles karma :)

That's how I think, too!
[MENTION=11630]Amethyst[/MENTION] I feel the same way, I love having the actual book and being able to flip though the pages. But lately I've thinking about getting a Kindle or Nook since I have run out of space to store all my books. 🙁

Does anyone have an e-reader that they love?
 
I have the Kindle app on my iPad if that counts? 😛 I do enjoy reading on it, it's also a life-saver for my sweaty hands problem. It's so uncomfortable reading real books when my hands are sweaty. 🙁
 
I have a kindle and it's so useful when I have gaps at work as its so easy to take places, and to continue from where you left off with it. Also there are loads of free books for it

Was just gonna say this. Lol. I can't have a kindle cause I really just love books to hold, to smell, to flip through the pages... space be damned, at one point I really hope I might be able to have my own little library room. 😀

I compromise- I realised a year or two back that there are lots of books under my bed that I'll never read again, so I'm gradually selling those off and at the same time only buying Kindle books and hardbacks. So I just don't buy paperbacks, unless it's as a souvenir from somewhere I've been.

makes sense! I do have a few I doubt I'll read again
I have my Kindle Fire. I love reading during lunch / dinner break at work. 😀

It's nice to be able to mark the line you were on and put a bookmark.
 
I used to hate Kindles and E-books because I couldn't get how someone could like reading from a screen rather than from a book (remember I'm graduating as a librarian 😉 ). But recently i decided I wanted to read Fifty Shades of Grey... Now I get the appeal of an E-reader XD
 
I love my Kindle. I've had it for about a year and a half, and I read more now than ever (45 books so far this year and counting). I couldn't recommend it enough: loads of books in one place, easy to read, a new book in seconds... the list goes on.

However... buying all the books has made a bit of a dent in my bank balance!

Kindle is ordered and on its way :)
I read a TON, but have no e-reader. I don't like reading off of screens, and prefer to have a book in hand. I buy books at rummage sales or get them from the library, so it isn't too costly or space consuming.
 
hey guys! Im back after a long holiday haa so nice to read through all the recent discussions - still catching up hehe

I love reading but havent got a kindle yet! Ive tried to use an app on my ipod but its jsut not the same haaa I love turning the pages, bending the covers! lol but im going to try it out as I can imagine it growing on me! haa

The only downside with kindles is that it's easier to get too many books! :p
[MENTION=11543]Valjavertjinn[/MENTION], I heard your name mentioned on the buffy rewatch podcast! 😛

[MENTION=11292]kittenpoker[/MENTION] I wish I could say that must be an American thing, but I've heard of preschool 'graduations' happening in the UK too 😛

That's all.
 
Lmao, I love that, that's hilarious! Hide your favorite characters because Joss is coming!

🙂
 
I have that picture saved in my one of my buffy folders on my laptop, I've always thought that was funny! 😀
 
Since I'm home alone tonight I thought that it might be the right night to finally watch Star Wars! Hear that, [MENTION=10175]This Year's Girl[/MENTION]?? 😛 I'll watch them in order of episode, not of release. 🙂
