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?

Also, all but one of my actual books got lost in a fire.
