I'm wondering just how many have switched to Kindel or IPad,and who stick with the good
old paper and print.Also which genres are preferred.
I preferr paper and print myself,just easier for me to keep my place.
I like horror and sci-fi as well as action mysteries.I guess I'm one
of the few who actually like Dan Browns writting,and have become
dissillusioned with Stephen King.I really enjoy Eric Van Lustbader.
(probably spelled that wrong) So what 's everyones opinion?

I made the mistake of seeing the movie,and was greatly unimpressed.They spent entirely too
much time with scenery shots,and not enough telling the story.I watched the movie Pet Cemetary
and laughed all the way thru it,where the book kept me awake for a week.I've a dollar or two on
Anne McCafferty's Pern novels and alot of time with Piers Anthony in Xanth.
that was going to be trashed.It is in good condition,not torn or missing pages,from the forty's or fifty's.
research into the reality behind his fictions.
Unless your wanting a first edition,then I'm lost out here in boonville.
Otherwise I feel right at home in a bookstore. I still buy print books, mainly from HalfPrice Books. I mainly look for things on mythology, history, and fantasy novels. Tolkien, Lewis, and Brian Jacques being my personal favorite authors.
passages and such that were edited out after the Magazine short story.When they released the
first printing they tried to make the book more palitable to the public.Of course this didn't work
and it only now with the changes in society that OW is seen as a visionary.Google the title and
look for the link about "this is how Oscar Wild meant to write"or something along that line.
As my handle implies,I'm into symbolism and histories,also like comparitive religion works.
I have several PDF books and a few txt.I did listen to Intensity by Dean Koontz and that was
a bad thing traveling over night from Mission Texas to OKC.A lot of dark highway.Also
listened to the 2nd Harry Potter after watching the DVD of the 1st book.They had the descriptions
deadon for the movie,when I watched the 2nd movie I thought I had already seen it.
But alas,to hold the pages and feel the weight in my hands is as important as the pipe and blend
I pick up.A good hard back with PS Black Coffee and scotch on the rocks,I'm set !
the publication will have to be approved by the FDA.With warnings on every
third page.Might have to put a disclaimer on the cover,"Don't Smoke This Book".
Thanks for the tip !
I lost thousands of dollars worth of theology books in a tornado while my wife spent $80 for a replacement ereader and picked up novel on the page she had left off on.
When I was in seminary, I carried around about 40lbs of books in a bag just to do my Greek and Hebrew work. Now, I just carry around a few ounces.
A friend and bibliophile told me: "Books are for people who love books. Ereaders are for people who love reading." I can second that.
and need heavy duty readers for the other.This causes me intense pain when staring at a
screen for prolonged periods.That is why I have to leave the forum and return to catch up
on threads.With books I can better control the lighting and magnification.I agree that
ereaders are the way to go,but for now I still pull out the musty tombs and blow the dust
from the cover.
