I share a computer with others so e-books just don't work for me. The computer we share isn't in the best shape and I am to afraid to buy an e-book for fear it wouldn't work right.

I really don't like staring at a screen for too long, and I like actual books better, cuz they're easier to close and get to then e-books, but I've only read one and I just recieved another one today, if they weren't sent to me I probobly would just get an actual copy :)

I tried to read an ebook of Pure but I just couldn't do it. I can't sit in front of the computer and read. I just get too distracted. I think I will just stick to old fashioned books. I like to be able to hold them and flip through them. And also, I would never pirate a book. The authors work so hard, they deserve to be paid for that hard work.

I just CAN'T read stuff off a screen either...
Plus I love everything about books-the feel, the covers, the smell(okay i'm weird)
I've been trying to read "20 Boy Summer" on my iPod Touch (it has a Kindle app) and im having a tough time getting through it even though its a great book.

My eyes can't stand staring at the computer screen for too long either. I think I'll just stick to my regular old books.

I've downloaded several non-fiction ebooks because I wanted the information, but when it comes to fiction, I want the actual book. (Besides, something goes wrong with your computer or reading device and you've lost everything!)
When/if I purchase a reader, it will NOT be a Kindle - I want to be able to download pdf files from more than one source. And I'd rather not give money to the Amazon monster.

I just started reading my first ebook, Pure by Terra Elan McVoy, and I'm really enjoying it. It's different for me but it isn't as hard as I had thought. I also was scared it was going to hurt my eyes or make me uncomfortable in some other way but it hasn't so I'm happy about that. I'm not sure how I feel about pirating books. On the one hand, they're really expensive (especially if you like audiobooks) but then there's the library. But suppose the library doesn't have it or there's like 10 holds on it. I don't know. I guess I'm kind of in between about it.
