If you have a Kindle...

Do you switch off between regular books and Kindle books?  I have a bunch of books that I bought before I got my Kindle.  So, part of me feels like I should get through them and THEN pick the Kindle up.  What do you do?

    I typically just use the Kindle.  However, I checked out a book from the library for one of my classes because I didn't want to spend $10 on it.  :)  I feel handicapped when I read a regular book since I can't use the built-in dictionary that the Kindle has!  LOL.

    I have an iPad, but I read both. I don't have the money to buy tons of ebooks, so I buy one occasionally and otherwise reread my old books or hit the library.

    Honestly, I don't think I've read a real book in almost 6 months.  I got my Kindle last April.  We moved at the end of August.  We haven't even unpacked our books (yes, the kids books, but not ours) because both DH and I have Kindles and we just never read real books.  It just doesn't occur to us.  You can now loan some books to people on Kindles.  Haven't tried it yet, but I'm totally excited about that.

    I've had a kindle since they first came out years ago. In the beginning, I only read on my kindle. Then we went through a little budget trimming last year and I started visiting the library instead of spending $100-150/mth on books. Now that I have an iPad with the kindle app which love even more than I loved my kindle, I'm back to reading only ebooks again. We will see if I change my tune after a few months of high book bills.

    I had a bunch of books that I hadn't read yet, so I tried to push through some of them before I really got embroiled in the Kindle.

    I have had an Ipad (with kindle app) since November and the six books I have read since then have all been ebooks.

    I'm pretty much only on my Kindle anymore.  MIL bought me an actual book for Christmas and I haven't even touched it but have read thru 2 ebooks since Christmas.

    No.  Once I went Kindle I never went back.  I ONLY go into bookstores for kids' books.

    This exactly.   I have no desire to hold and read and actual book.  I've had my kindle for a year and still LOVE it!
