Reading books - hardcopy / softcopy

I have always loved my books as hardcopies , reason - I would want to read anywhere and at any time, with or without laptop, and moreover I get connected to the book I am reading, and some times I am parellel reading ( more than one book at a time), so I have always preferred my book in hard copy. I write myname and the place from where I purchased and the date I started reading that book, and any other small associated informations, such as . the book was referred by so and so, and how I decided to read that book. So now when i pick up any book from my lib, I can read these small associated incidents also. It can get very nostalgic sometimes.
As far as buying is concerned, I have bought from every where , on line, landmark stores, or any good book stores ( we have some very good ones in Pune), airport, railway station, exhibitions etc. I use lib.s only for fun magazine reading, or some seasonal magazine such as during winter for woolen designes, during festivals for good receipies etc, but all my regular magazines like today, economis etc., I prefer to subscribe in order to have the continuity and reference.

 

I too love hard copies. I read anywhere, anytime so softcopy won't suit me.
I generally read books from library.

 

Hi,
I love to read books and the preference would be hard copy.Whenever I get a chance to visit bookshop while shopping or travelling or if any sale or exhibition is happening then I make sure to buy and add it to my collection.Even my sister and few freinds gift me books ,so these also add to my collection.Sometime I do exchange books with my friends and after reading return it.Occasionally I gift books to my children and even enjoy reading those too.

Happy reading

 

I personally do not like reading soft copies. It does not give me the pleasure of reading at all. I prefer sitting in my couch or swing, some snacks on one hand and my favorite book on the other hand. I would want to touch and feel a book while reading. unfortunately, soft copies do not give me that satisfaction

 

Before Kindle I loved hardcopy, now I love softcopy. Kindle is very light and you can carry as many as 3000 books.
