    Has anyone bought an e(lectronic) book i.e. one you read on your computer or print off? What made you decide to buy this version rather than a paperback? What did you think of it? If you've never bought one, what puts you off?

    I never have bought any, and probably never will.  Unless one of my favourite writers published a book exclusively as an e-book, and even then I would have reservations about it.

    I have always been a bookworm.  I adore books.  I devour books.  Part of the beauty of books is the handling of them, the smell of the pages and the buying of books in a 'real' shop.  An e-book will never hold the same romantic ideals for me, and I am very much a romantic where books are concerned.

    never have, never will.

    Not my scene either.  I like a real book that I can take anywhere.

    No, I'll stick to the real ones too.

    I have a feeling that some people are buying the e-book, which is only £1 (or $ equivalent), to have a look at before buying the paperback from Amazon.com.
