Paper or Plastic?

Today's question:


Do you prefer to read books (actual, physical paper ones) or do you prefer your Kindle (or other comparable portable electronic device) and why?

Day 1 - First question EVER!

Today's question is as follows:

Do you read for leisure, and if so, what type of literature do you leisurely read?

These times they are a'changing

This blog was developed to learn more about the average American reader.  This is a brave new world for a writer as the nature of what and how Americans read is changing every second.  Not only do Americans seem to have less time in their day for leisure reading, but physical books are becoming virtually obsolete as gadgets like the Ipad and Kindle soar in popularity.  And what about public libraries?  Will I live to see a day when communities no longer have libraries?! Given these rapidly evolving circumstances surrounding the future of American literature, this blogger believes it is imperative to try and document these changes.   Each day I will post a question pertaining to how or why or what we read and I look forward to reading everyone's creative responses!
