Books vs. eBooks?

The question of the age... is the book or the eBook better?

Let's debate!

Personally, I'm for books. I like the feeling of them, I like the scent of them, and I like writing notes to my friends in them. Plus, they can be shared and resold and given away, so even if a book goes out of print, you can still get it!

I voted for books ~! I love the feeling of holding a book in my hands. Love the scent as well and I don't know but books always have a mysterious air to it while eBooks don't have that.
(Ok, this makes me want to grab a book and read right now >>.)

Ahh, I love how you put that! The other day, I'd forgotten a book for reading time in homeroom, and I borrowed a really old book from my teacher. I think I forgot to read, because I was so busy taking in the spicy, sweet scent of the pages and leather. It was wonderful.

That is so true!! It's so sad that I can't find that kind of book where I live but once I saw a bookshelf full of old books in my acquaintance's house. I spent the rest of that afternoon admiring each and every one of those books. I even love the sound it makes when I flip the pages ~ (Wait, don't I sound kinda creepy...?)

Not at all! Old books make the best sounds!
If you're at that acquaintance's home again, you should smell one of the books, if they're well cared for and the house doesn't smell gross.
Books smell wonderful...
