Musing Monday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB over at ShouldBeReading. Each week she poses a bookish question for us book bloggers to discuss. This week's question is...
What devices - if any do you read books on? Do you find it enjoyable, or still somewhat bothersome? Or: If you only read the print books, why haven't you chosen to read on any devices?
Well, I do not have an e-reading device of my own - yet - but my 10-year-old daughter has a Kindle Fire, which she purchased with her own money, that she is gracious enough to let me use. Honestly, I resisted the whole e-reader thing for as long as I could. BUT, as a book blogger, it's almost necessary nowadays. I mean, with so many advanced copies only being available as ebooks...I just felt like I had to jump on the bandwagon. It's not as bad as I thought. The Kindle does not hurt my eyes, and it's very convenient. I am going to make my hubby buy me one of my own for my birthday.
But, it will NEVER replace print books, in my opinion! I'm pretty confident that I will ALWAYS prefer print books - the feel of the pages, the smell of the ink and paper....all you bookworms know exactly what I'm talking about!
So, how do YOU feel about e-readers? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

I am also a print fan! It's hard to give up the wonderful feel and smell of a book!
Thanks for following =).
I'll never give up print books either, but love my nook Simple Touch! With so many ARCs only available as eBooks now, plus the awesomeness of NetGalley, I think it's a necessity! At least, that's what I told my hubby! *L*
I'll never give up print books either. There's just something about the way a book feels and smells. But ebooks are nice to have as well. I love the fact that I can read the Kindle Fire in the dark because it's backlit.
And how awesome is your daughter for buying her own Kindle Fire?!
I'm a new follower!
