Can't get into it

Does anyone else have trouble with tablets and ereaders? I just can't make myself get into them. I have to have a physical book. I am very technology savy and enjoy electronics but everytime I try to read on a tablet it just doesn't feel the same. How are you guys with reading on tablets and ereaders? Do you prefer them? Do you need a physical book?

I've had two Nooks, but have rarely used them. I love the feel of a real book, and I enjoy seeing the bookmark progress through the pages.

I like the feel of the actual book. I also like to keep many of my books, another reason for the physical book.

Must admit I am addicted to the tablet for everything else.

I can't get into it either. I need a real book.

While I prefer to turn the pages of a 'real' book, my Kindle is wonderful to take to work. If I'm reading something with many pages, I don't have to lug a big book with me. My Kindle slips easily into my bag and is lightweight. I feel there is a time and place for both. Happy Reading, everyone. docsgirl

I haven't bought one for this exact reason! Glad to know I'm not the only one.

I think they look WONDERFUL for the concept of not having to have the physical book, I just can't imagine it as a BOOK.

I love to read, and they just leave me cold. Wish I could borrow one to see if I might like it. But, conceptually, I just can't warm to it.

I buy fiction for my iPad, but never books I may want to go back into for reference. It's just so much easier to find something in an actual book. But fiction? I don't have any problem reading a "book" on my device. I had one of the original Kindles, then the second version. Love my iPad because it has iBooks as well as the Kindle app on it.

Real physical book. I like the smell of ink & pulp. Nothing like it.

I also still have my newspapers delivered to my front door each day.

I am very techno savy.

I'm just the opposite, not tech savvy at all, but love my kindle. I live in a small town, with no book stores, and being able to have a new book in less than a minute is such a treat. I love books, all books, but it's nice to have a whole library in such a small package .
