I am getting ready to go on a one week trip and am trying to finish a book I got from the library. That should not be a big thing but it did get me thinking. The book, Fire with Fire by Charles E. Gannon, is one I have on my iPad but when I saw it in hard copy I checked it out. I wonder how many of us do the same thing? Buy an ebook but find a hard copy in the library, check it out and read that instead of the ebook. I know this is not the first time I have done this. Let me know if you do the same.

I haven't done that, however, I downloaded " Agnes Grey" but found a website where you can listen to audio books, so I decided to listen to the book instead of reading it.
If I read a book on my kindle that I really enjoy, I always buy a "real" copy. I just like to have physical copies of books that I like on my shelves.
Have a safe trip!
I tend to do the same thing. It's just better to read a "real" book :)
I don't have an ereader yet, so that doesn't happen to me :)
Although I do like to listen to E audio books, when it comes to reading, I'd much rather have a real book. There's something about holding a book in your hand and curling up in a comfy chair . . . I fear the younger generation will never develop this habit though. too many electronic temptations.
Go ahead, continue with the hardback copy. i would agree that it's better.
Sometimes I much prefer to read a real book. I always buy non-fiction books as hard copies as flicking backwards and forwards is much easier that way. I think some books lend themselves to the 'real' reading experience.
