What do you think about electronic book and magazine readers like the Kindle and iPad?

With Amazon’s announcement this week that sales of digital books were greater than sales of hardbacks, it’s clear that e-readers are here to stay. What do you think about this shift in the reading experience? Are you or do you see yourself becoming a convert?

I love them and I have an e-book reader (12.2%)

I prefer the physical experience of a book or magazine (34.9%)

I'm not planning to get an e-reader but I think it is a neat device and can be very convenient (52.9%)

    Heard these were very hard on your eyes...just like staring at a computer.

    My brother has one & spoke of it's convenience while he was serving in Iraq. He said he could get books he loved, with the ease of transport. He said "well worth the money"

    While I do prefer the feel and smell of a book or magazine, I would not be surprised if I get an e-reader in the near future. I love gadgets. I might just wait till they come down a little more in price.

    I am still a hands on reading person. I do love the feel of a book in my hands.

    I have a Sony reader and absolutely love it. It's easy to throw in your purse when you're on the go. I also love the little light for nighttime reading. The small light does not bother my husband at all, and it provides just enough light for me to read in bed.

    I like getting the book or magazine; so when I am through with it I can pass it on to someone in my family or friends.

    I haven't purchased an electronic book, but I may ask for one for Christmas.
