Giving the Kindle a Rest

For the last few years, most of my reading has been done on my kindle. It's so convenient. I can carry literally thousands of books with me at a time, the screen lights up a little so I can read in the dark, and a lot of the books are where I can borrow them from my library without having to leave home.
Also, it fits conveniently in my purse. It can be read with one hand, even with turning the pages. And it has a very nice feature where I can hover over a word and find the definition if I need it.
I love my kindle. Seriously, LOVE my kindle.
That being said, I haven't used it as much this year.
Why?
Multiple reasons. One being that I had quite the stack of unread books on my shelves that needed some attention. Real books with paper and pretty covers. So, I have been working through some of those stacks to try and get them to a more reasonable height--and maybe even pass a few on.
Another reason is that my library doesn't always buy the e-book AND the paperback in the books I am waiting to read. If I can't find them in the kindle version, sometimes I can find them on the actual library shelf. So, I've checked out a few of the ones on my TBR so I can catch up with some favorite authors. Very much worth it.
And another? Because there's just something amazing about reading a real book. The weight of it in your hand. The feel of the paper. The ability to go back a few pages to make sure you remember that detail right or flip back to the front to see the map one more time. So much easier in a real book.
Does this mean I'm going to give up on my kindle. Of course not! I still love it and will use it a ton. But I'm not regretting reading real books lately, either. As a reader, I can appreciate story in both forms.
What about you? Do you go through phases of reading one way more than another? Do you have a preference between e-books or "real" books? Why? What makes you choose to read a certain way?
