Traditional Books or E-Readers?

Back in the day, when e-readers like the Nook first came out, I totally resisted the change. I love books. I have read and owned thousands of them over the years, just like any one else. You just cannot beat the touch, feel, and smell of a great book. It is a comfort, really.

But just like anything else, times are changing. Now e-readers are plentiful and book stores are going out of business or reducing inventory. Even in high schools and colleges, print books are being used less and less. I, for one, am not sure how I feel about that.

Maybe it is just here in the US that the ebooks are becoming more prevalent. I don’t think that book publishers would stop printing books, but I do see more and more titles coming out with print, ebook, and some with audio options.

I am still addicted to my print books, but more and more I find myself opting for an ebook. What are your feelings about the loss of print books? Do you favor print over an ebook or do you not care one way or another?
