Which do you prefer? Ebooks or physical books?

@baeticat kindles are still very practical. I need to carry my laptop almost daily, notebooks, etc, it gets really heavy mainly because I spend like 2 hours in commute. Specially when reading big books and I know I'll need to take two because I'm almost finishing the other.

But other than that, books all the way. There's nothing like shelves full of books in a house.

@helena yup, same goes for me. I also prefer small paperback books over hard covers. I've also got tiny hands so huge books are quite a handful haha

@baeticat I bought a hardback version of A Casual Vacancy and haven't read it because of that. Too heavy to carry with me and I don't like to read more than one book at a time. I know, me too!!
