Am I the only one
that refuses to buy a Nook or Kindle? I love to read, and DH and my parents offer to get me one for every holiday. I always say no.
I like books. I like the way they feel, smell, sound. I feel like reading on a computer-like screen is going to be completely different.
Am I the last holdout?

Re: Am I the only one
No, a lot of people feel the same way as you. An e-reader is a strange concept until you have one. I felt the same way as you, I'd rather have the book but now when I can't get a book on my nook I throw a hissy fit that I have to go and get a real book.

Re: Am I the only one
I know a lot of people that dont like it...
I felt the same way too but ive been exposed to so many more books with the nook than i was before so and i realized that having a physical book means absolutely nothing to me...

Re: Am I the only one
DW has a Nook, but she still reads more paper books than e-books. For her, they both have their place, and neither one replaces the other, they just supplement each other.

Re: Am I the only one
Nope, you're not alone! DH was all set to get it for me for Christmas but I said I didn't want it. Though it is so much cheaper on the Nook/Kindle!

Re: Am I the only one
I like to read books. Plus I like to read on the beach and to take lots of books on vacation. If I lost a book or it rained on the beach it is a lot easier to replace than that nook/kindle. I get all my books from the library anyway so I don't pay for books.

Re: Am I the only one
I wish I had read this post! I just posted a similar situation.
I kind of want one, but I don't think it's "me".

Exactly this. the "Steal N Deals" section of my Nook exposes me to books I never would have picked up, and I can download books from the library too.

Re: Am I the only one
It hought that too but I have to say my kindle REALLY feels like a book. Hard to explain, but even the screen doesnt resemble a computer screen at all.
In fact the other day twice I went to turn the page!!!

Re: Am I the only one
I really don't want one either, just don't have any desire for it... I don't even have an Ipod yet haha, and I was the last of everyone I know to get a cell phone. Guess I'm not big on technology.

I am also holing out. I don't read enough to justify the cost. I get my books from the library so they cost me nothing.

I agree, I held off getting a nook for awhile now I don't ever want to be without it. I was sold on it after a read my first chapter on it.

I don't have an I-Pod either!  I'm a creature of habit and books are part of my habit!

Re: Am I the only one
No, I another holdout! I have no desire for one. To me , nothing beats reading a physical book. I need to hold a book, turn the pages,smell the paper, take it in the tub with me, lol! I am very possessive of my books also.

I refuse to get one. I like to go to the library, search through the stacks and leave with a bag full of books.

Re: Am I the only one
Im another holdout. I have no desire to get one. I do think that it is good when going on vacation but still I love books, the smell the feel. I love going to Barnes and Noble and going on Amazon to buy books. There is nothing like getting a delivery of books or looking at all the books I have and trying to decide which one I want to read.
