Does Anybody Else Avoid Ebooks? MrFarstrider Send a noteboard - 21/04/2017 10:21:26 PM

I've tried numerous times to read through e-books and I don't know if I've actually ever finished one. It just lacks something compared to a paperback or a hardcover that leaves me disinterested in the content. I enjoy going to bookstores, opening a crisp new book for the first time, and having that wonderful new book smell. Are you strictly a book person, mixed, or e-book only?
