Anyone read hardcopy books anymore?

Sounds like a win for everybody.

I voted for choice one because it was the closest. I spend a lot of time in front of a PC but prefer my pleasure reading to be a real book. As some have already said, I like the look and feel of the bound pages, along with the cool book jackets. It's easier to flip around and re-read parts also. You can't go to book readings and get your Ipad autographed by the author either. When it comes to technical stuff, I don't really mind reading it on a computer because it is a completely different mind set for me.

I use Stanza on my iPhone and on my desktop.

They have thousands upon thousands of free short stories and ebooks for download.

Oh, and The Time Machine by H.G. Wells is free... it rocked my socks.

I'll be going to the store here soon and picking up R.A. Salvatore's hardback books. I read the first one free from the publisher (as they give them out free on Stanza to get you hooked on the series). I gots to go buy 12 of them.

I love eBooks, but I love having the hardback copy just as much.
