These days I much prefer ebooks, but I did just finish listening to the audiobook of Son of the Morning, because the other option was ginormous large print version.
All but ebook...I have a kindle but I don't buy ebooks but do look around for free ones.
I have all her paperbacks on my "Keeper Shelf", I also have most of the one's avail in audio and I have about 95% of the books on my Kindle too...so I guess I will get whatever I can in any form I can hehe ;)
I have a few ebooks but I love my paperbacks and won't give em up!

Since I can't figure out how to work the kindle I have been sticking to paperbacks (I have all of them, and some duplicates) and audios.

I could hook up my iPod in the car and listen to them....the last couple of days I have been listening to "Now You See Her" I have forgotten what a great book that is!!
I have all her books in pb. I absolutely hate reading on my Kindle. If I want to go back a few pages to check a name or something, but not sure exactly where it was, it's difficult to find. Sometimes I'll hit the screen a certain way, and it jumps to another page (and not just a page or two forwards or backwards). Since I don't know what "location" I happened to be on at the time it happens, I have a heck of a time finding the place I was reading. I just finished an ebook, so I'm still frustrated by that experience.

The Nook Touch has an easy to use search function, which helps.
I have a few paperbacks but mostly Kindle. I love my ereader and the search facility if I have missed a name. And as Dorsey pointed out the convenience of size, it is so easy to sneak into work to help fill a quiet day in the office - don't tell, lol.
The Kindle marks where you left off automatically and you can search and highlight areas you may want to reference later....
AND you can sync it with your PC so if I forget my Kindle I can still read it on my work computer! ops going off topic, hehe.
I don't know if I want a kindle. any book I want I am going to have to buy it. I know they offer freebes, but how often are they the ones I want. I either get the books I want from the library or I buy it wholesale, usually about 50 cents or so.
Thanks for the comments about my Kindle (Touch) problems ladies. I haven't used the search feature, so I need to try that. I just need to use it more, I guess.
Death Angel was really different. Not often you read a romance with an assassin as the hero. :)
