I personally prefer physical copies of books that I really enjoy because I like to collect. There's something special about being able to hold a book in your hands. But don't get me wrong... I love my kindle because I can tap on a word and look up its definition, but it's just a different experience to read a physical book.
I don't have a Kindle--would love one. But I have always loved physical books, since I was a child. I take them everywhere with me. This is part of why having been manic and psychotic in recent months has been so hard on me. I can't really read when I have those symptoms. I am too all over the place. Did a little reading yesterday. It was really nice.
