The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
The books that people talk about we never can recall;
And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.
The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;

Hardback books, especially thick ones, are my all-time favorite reading format. I like turning the pages, seeing them stack one upon the other from right to left as I travel through the words and commas and periods.
E-readers are so convenient for accessing books and for portability. I do like reading on my Nook.
I find that my most common way to read in recent years is via my iPod so that I can knit, crochet, cook, work in the yard whilst absorbed in the world of my current read. I download books from two libraries and get absolutely lost in the stories.
What? What's that you say? I can't hear you because of my ear buds.
Sorry, I'm in Tuscany at the moment.

Yes, the perfect world offers many options. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
That is one good thing about paper books: being able to instantly see how far you've read and how far you've got to go!
