I love my kindle & pc, but when it comes to quilting books, I want a hard copy. When I'm looking for inspiration it's much easier for me to thumb through a hard copy book than one on an electronic device.

I have tried magazines as ebook & hate them. I read many ebooks on my iPad all the time & prefer it to books due to
arthritic hands that are painful & difficult to hold a book open. But as others have mentioned, I need hard copy for
quilting books/patterns.

I love love love my Kindle, I download free books from my library and Amazon all the time at any time of day or night. And yes, I also purchase books. The books stay on my digital account and I can access them regardless of the platform I'm using (pc, Kindle, phone, etc.). I also love audio books; my work commute and chores go by in a flash as I listen to books.
Having said all that, I much prefer to read hard or paper copies of quilt patterns, magazines, and books.

As a little old lady ex-school teacher, I like books... real books,.. paper, print, cover and all. None of those e-books for me! I have checked audio books out from the library and I used to listen to those great books while quilting and that was fun, but reading books on a screen? No thanks!

I really like e-books for actual reading and also for dictionaries and commentaries. However, when it comes to things like quilting or recipe books (which both usually involve beautiful pictures), I much prefer having the actual book in my hand!
