Book club and e books

Definitely - I LOVE my kindle and would marry it if I could!

I do have a kindle, but prefer to get proper books from GN that I can pass on to others. It's always good to share books you've enjoyed. I tend to use my kindle for classics, or to try out books by authors I don't know. Cheap downloads, in other words!

I bought a kindle but did not like it. If I win a book from Gransnet, I always pass it on to a friend.

I love my Kindle and we have a family account so that we can share books.
But my Mum does like to read any real books I win on GN after me.

Its Kindle all the way for me!

I have a Kobo. It's very handy when I don't want to carry a book with me.

I have a Hudl, which I do read some books on, but also read hard copy books, usually bought in charity shops.

I don't belong to the book club on here but if I did it would definitely be the kindle. I don't really like proper books any more.

I use the kindle ap on my iPad and much prefer to read books on that. I have stopped buying hard copies

I love my kindle - much prefer it to real books, easier to read, change the font, get a book instantly, great for holidays, travelling, reading in bed and not having to put the light on etc etc

I love traditional books. Please don't stop them.

Just wish I could find a book, any format, that I could really get into. Seems harder and harder these days.

How can you give away e-books?

I love my kindle, but I love traditional paper books too. Happy (and grateful) to receive a good book in whichever format.

I dont mind my kindle but love my books - the smell and the feel. Nothing tactile about a kindle but souless.

Like jing though haven't found a super duper book for ages. They are all OK but nothing more.

Why can't I get utterly lost in a book as I did as a child?

I know what you mean, whitewave. I lived in books when I was younger but find it harder and harder to get 'into' them these days. I certainly couldn't read now what I did then.

Oh I still can get lost in a book. It is the most wonderful feeling, when everything else recedes and the story is everything.

I love my Kindle - e-reader technology has transformed my life. I am now never without something to read, wherever I am. In the old days if I found myself wanting to pop in for a coffee somewhere but had forgotten my book, I would have to buy a newspaper or magazine. Now, even without my Kindle or iPad, I've always got my iPhone on me, complete with the iBooks and Kindle apps. Definitely the best thing since the proverbial sliced bread

I have a kindle which lay unloved and neglected in a drawer until I saw the first three of the Shetland books offered recently and decided to download them, so i have re"kindled" my relationship with it! I still prefer a book - I like to go to the library - but I acknowledge that the kindle has definite advantages.

I love my Kindle as I can read chick lit without a blush but I do like passing on books to friends. I feel a book shouldn't be left on a shelf but keep moving house to be enjoyed by others. It's not easily possible with ebooks . Our library is doing emagazines and ebooks.

I can read chick lit without a blush

Haha, I'd never thought of that aspect of it! Men people can read porn without a brown paper cover
