Featured Book Format

[jaxnsmom]

As more and more books are available in e-book only, we have an issue that needs looking at. Some books that are being chosen aren't available in tree book form and we need to know how much a problem that's going to be. Until it's addressed we're going to ask that at least one of the books chosen each month is available as a physical book.

Tell us here what you think.

I agree. I don't do e-books, so this is a good solution for the moment.

[MadameZelda]

LOL, I don't do paperbacks/hard covers!

I think this is totally fair. I have a Kindle Fire, but hate reading books on it!

What Melodie said :) I have a Kindle, but I would much rather read bound books instead of ebooks. I rarely pay for Kindle books, and even then, I balk at paying more than 99 cents.

I have a Kindle fire and borrow my books from the library in kindle format. I refuse to pay for books on Amazon. I also like to go to the library and take out books to read, sometimes I just like to actually hold a book and read it.

I like to read either way, although as I get older and my eyes get weaker, I find it easier to read on my kindle or my nook!

I also enjoy going to the library with my Grandchildren and help them pick out books that they and I can read to each other at home!

So I say either way is OK for me!

I only read paperbacks or hardcovers but I am fine if others want ebooks

I prefer 'book book' (as IKEA defined) over e book format as well, but unfortunately, sometimes they are not available here in down under so I'm happy to have e book option as well. Thanks!

I think this is absolutely fair. I listen to audios or read ebooks almost 100% of the time. However, I think the books selected should be available in both paper and ebook to be fair to all who want to join in the featured book discussions. With so many cozies available, it should not be difficult to find books that are available in both media.
