I Prefer Real Books Over Digital Books

I have a laptop, I have a tablet and a phone and I enjoy using all three. But please, give me a book that I can hold and feel as I flick through it's pages. The wonderful smell of new books fresh off the press, the musky scent of the old with so much history behind, them making me wonder about the kind of people who sat reading them so long before.

I bought so many books at one time, I physically ran out of space. Gave away... I don't know a few hundred, and now almost out of necessity, tend to use Kindle for many of mine... It's very practical, though not as pleasurable at times :)

@sometimeslonelytoo I do love seeing collections of favourite books stacked on a shelf. I had to thin most of mine out over the years, but some of my cherished childhood books are still here and I shared them with my children when they were small.
