How many are Kindle users and how many are old fashioned paper-and-fabric book readers?

I use both the Nook and the Kindle as well as paperback and hardbound.

And why?

They (Kindle and Nook) are both good quality, good battery life, easy to read, no external light source needed, therefore good for in-bed reading with the wife, an almost unlimited library.

One drawback to the e-readers is the inability to look back and skip ahead...something I am prone to do with print books.

Bad habit, but I've done it all my life and enjoy doing it, although I also enjoy NOT being able to do so with the e-readers.

I still read paperback and hardbound, as much as I can get my hands on.

I am a voracious reader.

I average two novels, weekly, sometimes four if they are smaller, along with several gun mags, knife mags, auto mags, motorcycle mags, how-to-do-it mags, the internet and TV news.

I am a book addict and information junkie...and there is no cure.

And I retain the information, educational and entertainment value of everything I read.

Reading is, in my opinion, the single best thing one can do to improve mental acuity and awareness of the world we live in, be it fact or fiction.
