Emerald Power says
August 4, 2014 at 8:15 amI read more ebooks than paperback books because it is usually easier when you are on the go. However, on rainy days you can never go wrong with a real book!

August 4, 2014 at 8:55 amI read more old school paper books than ebooks honestly. Mostly because I get a lot of books from the library =D
Thanks for another giveaway Shellie!

August 4, 2014 at 8:59 amI read a lot more paper books then I do ebooks but I like both!! Thank you for doing these giveaways!!
Caro says
August 4, 2014 at 9:04 amI read about half e-books and half paper books. It depends on where I’m going.
Savannah says
August 4, 2014 at 9:08 amI usually prefer to read ‘Old School Paperbacks’, as you put it(: They just feel better in my hand, and my collection is definitely larger on my bookshelves that my e-reader.

Tayler Clements says
August 4, 2014 at 10:20 amI usually prefer to read the old school paper books, but I have several ebooks that were never printed so I read those too!
Annie says
August 4, 2014 at 10:23 amI read more paper books than e-books.
Cynthia says
August 4, 2014 at 11:42 amI prefer “old school paperbacks” because I think I can read then whenever, and not have to worry about my batteries draining and other technical issues. Also, the satisfaction of turning pages after pages and watch you get closer to the end is something that an ebook can not provide for me.
Jordan says
August 4, 2014 at 11:55 amI read more ebooks during the school year because it’s more convenient. Over this summer, though, I have read mostly paper books.
Anna Marie says
August 4, 2014 at 12:04 pmI read more ‘old school paperbacks’ 😉 they feel better in my hand, the battery never dies, the brightness of the screen never hurts my eyes if I’m reading at night, and…I’ve always liked the smell of books…..each one has its own unique smell partly from the bookstore, and partly because of the publisher house and partly because of some unknown factor. Ebooks don’t smell…..so i don’t like them as much. however. i do have the 1st and 3rd gg book ebook style bc we were at the beach when I wanted to read the 1st and at my grandpa’s when i got to the 3rd and i couldn’t wait to read them, so i bought them online. i have the 5th and 6th paperback/hardback and am saving to add the other 2 to my collection……the only heist i own is perfect scoundrels but im working on changing that…..
Gillian B. says
August 4, 2014 at 12:07 pmI like to read actual books more than e-books. The feel of actually flipping the pages feels like an accomplishment. Plus e-books hurt my eyes after awhile
Kaitlin says
August 4, 2014 at 12:17 pmI read more “Old school paperbacks”, then E-books! I usually get books from the Library.
Mallory says
August 4, 2014 at 12:25 pmI read more physical copies than ebooks. But lately I have been finding myself reading more ebooks.
Kayla says
August 4, 2014 at 12:39 pmMore paper books definitely! Ebooks can’t compare! Why read an ebook when you can’t smell that classic book smell or play with the corner of the page before you turn it?
Madison says
August 4, 2014 at 12:51 pmI prefer Old school paperback books because I like to feel paper in my hands 😉
Lauren H says
August 4, 2014 at 1:06 pmI definitely read more paper books. But really, I just love books in general!
Ginger says
August 4, 2014 at 1:20 pmI read a mix of both! It’s nice to just buy an ebook and have it right away, but at the same time I still really like the feeling – and smell – of holding an actual book in my hands!
Victoria W says
August 4, 2014 at 1:35 pmI read more old school paperback books than e-books. I like that familiar smell of new books; a smell you don’t get with e-books
Erica says
August 4, 2014 at 1:36 pmI’d say I read both e-books and physical copies pretty frequently. However, I do like to buy my favorite books in the “old school” form so I can always see them on my shelf and quickly read through my favorites again and again. 🙂
Natulez says
August 4, 2014 at 1:44 pmI read more ebooks because I like to read before bed, and it is easier to lay down and read with an ebook 🙂
Paisley says
August 4, 2014 at 1:48 pmI read a lot of ebooks but I also love to read paper books. I just love holding the actual book in my hands.
Camille says
August 4, 2014 at 1:50 pmI love reading “Old School Paperbacks'” because you can look at multiple pages at once, and I love to see how far I’ve come with a physical object in my hand. Real books just make me happy:)
Carrie N says
August 4, 2014 at 2:19 pmOld School Paperbacks have that “magical feeling.” I like reading a well worn paperback any day. But ebooks do save a lot of paper (and weight), especially in school textbooks!
Morgan says
August 4, 2014 at 2:23 pmI read more paper books during the school year and ebooks over break mostly because of availability. I prefer old school but sometimes ebooks are just easier to get your hands on!
Holly Anne says
August 4, 2014 at 2:23 pmEven though I own more ebooks than actual physical copies, I still prefer physical copies. Ebooks are convenient when it comes to traveling, but I love actually holding my books.
Cody says
August 4, 2014 at 2:26 pmDEFINITELY PAPER BOOKS
Elizabeth says
August 4, 2014 at 2:33 pmI read a crap ton of both, but recently ebooks have been more convenient. Paperbacks are hard to download at work and are rarely free.
Evelyn Q says
August 4, 2014 at 2:36 pmI personally think nothing beats a paper book, but I usually like to have both. E-books are great for night time reading! c:
Jaimie says
August 4, 2014 at 2:41 pmI read “Old School Paperbacks” because I love the feel of reading them. I grew up with virtually no books in my house at all, so getting a book is like Heaven.
Lisette says
August 4, 2014 at 2:48 pmI only do paperbacks! Except for when I read Double Crossed – that was the only time I’ve EVER done an ebook.
Rachel Hutchins says
August 4, 2014 at 2:52 pmHi!
I like to read old school paperback and hardback books! I feel like you don’t get the full experience of the book when its an ebook because you don’t get to turn a new fresh crisp book page with the tips of your fingers. also, it may be weird but there’s like a smell to books that is intriguing and helps with wanting to read regular books instead of ebooks!
Anna says
August 4, 2014 at 3:20 pmHey! I hope Ally is having fun!
I usually read more paper back books! The library offers plenty selection, so i usually go there,
RV says
August 4, 2014 at 3:45 pmI read more paperbacks but I’d be just as satisfied w/ an ebook;-)
Jackie says
August 4, 2014 at 3:49 pmI read more old school paper books than ebooks because I love going to the library and picking out new books to read. However when it comes to purchasing books, ebooks are the way to go because they are so much cheaper than the actual paper book and I love love love that the nook has a built in book light so I can read all night long:)
Mary says
August 4, 2014 at 3:55 pmIf only I had more ebooks I would read them on my Nook! I have quite a stockpile of old school books and love reading those, but I prefer reading on my nook when I can.
Jessica~ says
August 4, 2014 at 4:22 pmAw, why does everyone say “Old School” paper books…makes me feel behind the times or something for preferring good ol’ paper. xD Though I do lug SO many books from the library, I also read e-books because a lot of the time, that is the faster (or only, in some cases) way to get my hands on titles I want to read.
But I much prefer actually books. <3 And I always buy my absolute favorites for my book shelf.
Olivia says
August 4, 2014 at 4:46 pmDuring school I read more paper books because it’s easy to walk on in into the school library. in summer I read more eBooks because I doesn’t have time to go to the library.
Katherine says
August 4, 2014 at 5:18 pmI read more paper books, its hard to snuggle with a computer or tablet.
Laurel says
August 4, 2014 at 5:32 pmI read more paper books 🙂
Bea says
August 4, 2014 at 5:43 pmI feel like I read an equal amount of both. I love to read actual books with the covers because i feel like there is a very excited feeling about opening the cover and flipping through pages and a very satisfied feeling when I finish the book. Unless of course you”re reading a series and the author gives you a MAJOR cliff hanger. (cough cough hack Rick Riordan hack cough hack) Haha. Although I love to read ebooks whenever I feel like I want to read one of my books there. 🙂 Which do you prefer?
Terry says
August 4, 2014 at 5:50 pmThough I love reading ebooks on my Kindle, I prefer to read from hardcopies. I don’t know, I just like the feel of holding a book and turning its pages. Plus, they look beautiful on my shelf!
Ashley G says
August 4, 2014 at 5:50 pmTotally read more paper books, I just like that musty paper smell of a good old book!
Fianna says
August 4, 2014 at 6:16 pmI don’t know why people consider it old school, but I love paper back books! just the feel of the book in my hands, turning the pages, the smell! its totally amazing and fantastic! So I definitely prefer “Old School” paper back, but I like e-books too. I have read quite a few e-books, and I find that way is easy and convenient compared to paper back. If I ever find a book, that happens to be an e-book, that I love, I will try to find the paper copy for my bookshelf. You know that library in Beauty and the Beast? Yeah, I’m working on my version of that so if I love a book, I want it on my shelf too.

August 4, 2014 at 6:57 pmI’m a big fan of old school books, but I want to start reading ebooks because I’m running out of shelf space. Oops!
Kelsee says
August 4, 2014 at 7:55 pmI read old school books anfd ebooks (I have a nookcolor). I prefer old school books better even though they cost more.
