Kindle for sure, very easy to use and comfortable and I don't need to keep huge stacks of books in my room

Colorful prints = books. Those nice Taschens .. :D

otherwise kindle ( paperwhite ) for the convenience, light, portable, instant wiki/definition, small backlight to read on bed and not disturb my wife. not perfect but very good.

Super agree. I hardly read my kindle at home, always a physical book. Only when out or travelling then kindle very useful.

Another bad thing is kindle no colour.

Then if the ebook is formatted by the screen, the whole page will be smaller than the actual book, so it is not as readable. Because of that I regretted buying the Wimpy Kid on the Kindle. If physical book, I think my kids will read it.

I think nothing can replace the physical books, but I have recently become a kindle convert cause it's just damn convenient.

1. light, can hold hundreds of ebook
2. one click to find definition of words
3. easy to highlight favourite phrases
4. long battery life
5. I usually don't re-read books, but yet can't bear to throw the books away :/ so kindle is a great solution

Kindle.

Physical books takes up a lot of space in pigeon hole HDB. I don't re-read books too. so after 5 years must clear up space by donating for incoming new books.

So switched to Kindle & E-books liao..
