Ebooks VS Books

Honestly, I love paper books, and am sad that I'm quite sure that they are going away. I used to love wandering through a library or Barnes and Noble, but....
I only buy ebooks these days. Why?
-Because I can have 15 queued up on my reader.
-Most of my read time is on the treadmill these days (can't hold the book open, but the reader lies flat)
-After I read the book, it just becomes more clutter in my house. << this is actually a big deal to me.
-I have access to the book on two readers (one at home, one in my gym bag) and my phone. I can read anytime I am unexpectedly stuck waiting somewhere.
The only time I need paper these days is reading in the hot tub....which is why I still get some magazines on paper0 -
And btw, you can get a kindle app on any device. You don't actually need to own a kindle.
I personally am a Nook fan (I still want to support Barnes and Noble), but I have kindle apps on my ipad for some books only available on kindle.0 -
I am old school so I love real books. But why can't you do both?0

I am an avid reader and I never thought I would change to E books but I am definitely a convert. I love my kindle it affords me the chance to try unknown authors who are writing some really good and different books (like yourself perhaps) without it costing me too much. I have found some great reads for little or no cost.
If I do buy a book now it has to be by an author I already like as I don't want to spend £7 or so on a book I might not enjoy.
I am by no means and expert in any of this but I think publishing online gives you an incredibly wide audience however there is also huge amount of competition out there so getting your book to your audience will be key.

I usually only read ebooks, but I NEVER look at the strictly e published books. I'm judgey and don't give them a chance. I'm sure a lot of them are great, but I'm a snob. That's my $.2 regarding wider appeal.1
