“Real” Books vs. the Kindle

I was telling one of them that I was going to see if Barnes and Noble has them. I asked one coworker where she purchased hers and she said she just ordered it on her Kindle and I said, “O.K”. The other promptly chimed in and said “ I read all of mine (Hunger Game Series) on my Kindle. Then she proceeded to say, “Why would you want to hold over a thousand page book in your hands?” I happen to love the balancing act that comes with reading a book that is thicker and bigger than my hands; it gives me a geek high that I embrace<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-JStIam-Bgo0/T2k-Ja5VO1I/AAAAAAAACwg/j9f26rILXhA/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />. On the other hand, I understand the convenience that a Kindle provides. Maybe Kindle owners also have great postures since they don’t have to tote heavy books around on their shoulders. <strong>However.</strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><br /><img height="453" src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lymkkxVCVd1qc08nno1_500.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="690" /><br /><strong>I. Still. Prefer. Buying. “Real Books”.</strong>  I love how they add dimension and movement to a space, the warmth they exude and their smell. A Kindle doesn’t awaken my senses like a book does. How about you? What do you think about a kindle vs. the actual book? Happy Wednesday everyone!
